Welcome to Peace of the Ocean: one world. one people. one ocean.™
As we are all connected, so is the water. This is an organization for everyone in the world to get involved
and make a difference in the health of our oceans. It is for those who live inland as well as those
who live along the sea. Wherever you are, you can make a difference. There are simple things you
can do, that add up to big things for the sea. We hope you will join us in keeping the 'Peace of the
Ocean,' for we all are: one world. one people. one ocean.
Time to come together, you and me, for the health of the deep blue sea
'Oh, I’ve heard of the garbage patches,'
one once said to me
'there are piles of garbage floating,
but what has that got to do with me?'
'I live so far inland
my garbage won’t reach the sea.
It’s the people living on the ocean
that created it to be.'
I asked, 'How do you not know
It didn’t come from you or me?
Have you ever followed a piece of garbage
from inland to the sea?'
There are winds, gutters and sewers
that can carry a piece, you see,
farther than one may realize,
from inland to the sea.
Streams become rivers,
to bays and then the sea.
Things can travel so much farther
than the eye can see.
For everything is connected.
People, like you and me,
and every drop of water
is a piece of the deep blue sea.
We are all responsible
for whatever may be.
Making wise choices everywhere
is really the whole key.
All life is connected,
from the smallest ‘A’ to the biggest ‘Z,’
And all life is dependent on water
and the health of the sea.
It’s time to work as one
and change what came to be,
a world no longer thinking ‘I,’
but coming together as ‘we.’
