A piece at a time

Being environmentalist often times I come across people and after long conversations we end up at this... "What if" moment.
Just as an example it could be
  • What if I don't drive my car every time it's further than 100 meters/yards
  • What if I look at the labels and don't buy endangered species fish
  • What if I pick up that wrapper I see in the street?

And there are many more of those questions. Now for me the big step is that if all the thousands of people who ask exactly those questions would actually stop asking them and just stepped up and did what they are thinking about we were one step further already!

So here is the idea: What if we all made an attempt and at least one time a day we actually did what everyone is talking about? Go ahead, pick up that piece of garbage before it ends up in the ocean.
Pick your bike for that errand, that is only a few meters away, have a closer look at the label and maybe check back if that is really what you want to buy.

It is small things that make a difference if followed by a lot of people!

Join in, make a difference with us - A piece at a Time!

And just as a motivational starter: Feel free to share your little moments of victory on Facebook, flickr, twitter, Instagram and whatever else there is out there and mark them so we can all see that YOU stopped talking and started acting! #APieceAtATime

INDEPENDENT RESEARCH AT SEA

With Many Marine Biologists out there driven by the passion  for the Ocean, dedication and Inspiration we want to try a new approach of Research at Sea. While Research Ships are hard to get a hold of and expensive to run we offer a platform on a budget! The Idea is simple: The big problem for most projects is the funding. With the simple Idea of making the Oceans a healthier place and research affordable (and possibly even sustain ones living while doing it), we run our constant Pa treon Page via which everyone can support us.  Those donations should keep the boat going (at some stage) and the crew fed. This way we can offer spots for researchers on a shoestring budget or even free - depending on your funding situation - we are obviously happy to help you set up a crowdfunding campaign to raise funds for a project as well - just send us a proposal and get in touch to have a chat about it. For everyone else who wants to get involve...

What if...

... the world didn't need saving? Coming back to Austria one of the always returning topics seems to be what is often called the "Refugee crisis". Now what if this was not a crisis? How can anybody blame people for running away from a war? Not running from bad economy but actually running for their life - because of a war in their home. Obviously I can't speak for everyone else, but I would certainly make a move if there was war around here. And now keep thinking about the next years to come? Big draughts, floods, massive weather phenomenas occuring around the world in many places with different effects. All of them having one thing in common: They do become more frequent and more intense. So what would that mean for us? Well, being in the center of Europe this doesn't affect us too much yet, sea level needs to rise more than 500 meters before we get wet feet, storms don't have the space to build up too bad and all together, we got tons of drinking water - in ...
