Can you put this in the "Education" category on YouTube too? My school only allows us to see videos under "Education" so I will not be able to watch this at school, nor will my teacher whom I'm going to show this to. Amazing video. Really opened my eyes to not only how bad the ocean is being treated, but how it is affecting us. Thank you.

Unfortunately, we're only able to put it under the Nonprofit & Activism category for now. We appreciate your interest and hope you can find an alternative solution to sharing our message!

Working on our end — maybe just a momentarily YouTube hiccup? Give it another go...

Thumbs up if you have to watch this for class

You cannot fool someone that is intelligent, that's why the United Nations (according to their agenda 21) think that intelligent people are unsustainable. Intelligent people threaten their propaganda campaigns.

Rivers that lead into the ocean are also acidic, which is why you don't test the shores. Also I have done tests on the effects of acidity on live snails, the shell do not melt, the shell gets Pitts. Acidic water reacts with minerals until the acidity in the water is neutral or alkaline. This reaction can cause CO2 which algae will convert into O2.

I saw no evidence, only claims and statements. The acidity of ocean would be neutralised by the high amount minerals, bacteria would changes it's form (bacteria is pleomorphic which means form changing) to cyano bacteria which is the bacteria found inside plant cells and allows plants to turn CO2 into O2, algae would swarm which will convert the CO2 into O2 and when you test the water of a shore, you may be getting a reading from all the crap coming out of the storm drains.

I like the part at @15:00, the video gets to the point, we have changed the world, faster than it is able to cope with. Now is the time to change our built environments into better means of planetary support.

Thank you and may you all enjoy Songkran Thai New Year !!

These are the kind of videos that parents & teachers should be sharing with kids & other adults.

I think you can write to the school district person in charge of youtube security, and they can allow the address for this link. Or download it at home using software and avoid commercials and streaming issues.

Unfortunately this movie overestimates the feasibility of alternative energy options in terms of their ability to support us not changing... If we are going to not kill the ocean we have to make choices beyond which light bulbs to buy for our new mansions... THIS ISSUE IS IMPORTANT... DON'T BE LULLED ASLEEP BY THE ENDING
