The ocean not only serves as our planet’s lungs, but also as its largest carbon sink.
🌊 Did you know, the ocean generates 50% of the oxygen we breathe and absorbs 30% of the carbon dioxide in the atmosphere?
And that’s not all! It captures about 90% of the excess heat generated from emissions. However, increasing greenhouse gas emissions have made the ocean warmer and more acidic. This diminishes its capabilities and threatens its ecosystem.
The ocean is the perfect example of our Earth’s ability to create balance and tremendous beauty. 💙 Join us this World Ocean Day in appreciating it.
