Whales play a big part in marine ecosystems. Whales feed in the nutrient rich,deep end of the ocean.
They then excrete the nutrients in shallow waters, which serves as fertilizer for phytoplankton.
Phytoplankton contributes to more than 50% of the oxygen in our atmosphere.

Climate change is a pressing issue that will shape the future of our world. We should act proactively, following the science and harnessing technologies to act decisively, rather than play catch up after irreversible changes have occurred.

If we look at the world as an interconnected ecosystem, which it is, these trends of mass insect declines would be deeply concerning.
The reality is that we are are unable to understand the multi-order domino effects that these ecological effects entail.

Pigs are one of the smartest animals in the world. They have passed a huge variety of intelligence tests and have the mental and emotional complexity rivalling apes and dogs.
We should re-consider our assumptions and treatment of these animals.
