Nobel laureate and biologist Dr. George Wald stated in his lecture, “Therefore Choose Life”, that 70% to 90% of our oxygen production comes from Phytoplankton in the oceans. He remarks how oil pollution is suffocating these micro-organisms on a grand scale. These statements were made 48 years ago; one can only imagine how this problem has intensified up to the present day.
His lecture can be heard on the CBC website here, we hope you find it as informative and motivational as we did!
