Parley Talks: ANJA RUBIK
World Oceans Day 2018
“As convenient as a plastic bag may be in the moment, our ocean demise will be an inconvenience in the future that we will not survive.”
ANJA RUBIK
Parley turned ‘World Oceans Day’ into an entire week of discussion and action at The Explorers Club and United Nations Headquarters in New York, with a marathon of talks, film screenings, panels and workshops focused on the protection of the oceans, solutions to major threats and the strategy that can end marine plastic pollution: Parley AIR. The talks centered on three key topics: high seas crimes and overfishing, plastic pollution and the Material Revolution, and the exploration and conservation of deep space.
"Her Deepness" Dr. Sylvia Earle urges us to consider the impacts of marine plastic pollution, overfishing, ocean acidification and human-driven changes she has witnessed in the span of just 50 years.
