The Voyage: Roz Savage
Less Than One Lifetime: How The Oceans Have Changed
15 Oct 2008

Here is a short but powerful video about the state of the oceans, featuring my friend from the JUNK Raft, Dr Marcus Eriksen. It contrasts the Pacific crossed by a raft in 1958 with the Pacific crossed by the JUNK in 2008 - and the comparison is not favourable.

That's the bad news. The good news is that we can make sure the same tragic degradation does not occur over the coming 50 years. Let's keep using our reusable grocery bags, reusable coffee mugs, and reusable water bottles, and make sure that a similar video created in 2058 will look back and thank us for taking action to avert disaster.

Fuel: The Movie
13 Oct 2008, Los Angeles

Yesterday afternoon I went to another film premier - my third in a week! (The others were Call It Home: Searching For Truth on Bolinas Lagoon and Fuel, the latest film by Josh Tickell of Veggie Fan fame.

It's a fascinating look at America's addiction to oil, and the viability of alternative fuels for the future. Special guest appearances by various famous faces, including Richard Branson, Cheryl Crowe, Larry Hagman and Willie Nelson.

Entertaining, informative and thought-provoking - highly recommended!
