Clean the Oceans for Lily the Gray Whale, Please Help the California Gray Whale

by Ellinorianne

And for everyone else that lives and breathes on this beautiful planet of ours.  When I advocate for oceans, for the cetaceans that live in them, it's advocacy for us all.  The phrase too big to fail has become a bit overused but for me, the ocean is not too big to fail, and yet I bet so many people think, it's so vast, the oceans are so big, how can we, a few billion human beings have such an impact?

We can.

But we can chose to have positive impacts.  We can chose to take the events that happen in our lives to inspire or to create despair.  When Lily the Gray whale entered Dana Point Harbor in Orange County, Ca it caused so much hope and despair. Her death impacted me immensely and writing about it also managed to reach out to others who were touched by her passing.
