Map reveals human toll on oceans
Insurers to map areas at sea risk
There seems to be two different dimensions of reality occurring at the same time on our dear planet.
In one, the purpose is to increase pollution, spend more money, create more heavy industry and disregard any indication of the need for honesty, integrity, co-operation, self discipline and responsibility.
