Imagine an Ocean Without Fish

 The ocean is so vast and unexperienced by most of us that we assume life below the surface is thriving. This is not the case, as described in The End of the Line. This documentary brings to light the reality of the ocean, and it is not a pretty picture for ocean ecosystems and human consumption of seafood.

With population growth and increased technology we have managed to fish certain species to near extinction while disrupting the natural underwater system beyond belief, with no sign of slowing.

If you eay anything out of the sea, please watch this film and make informed decisions before ordering seafood off the menu.

Toxic Nation

We are exposed to chemicals every day in the food we eat, the water we drink, the air we breathe and the products we buy. Chemicals act as toxins in our bodies, they are everywhere because WE created them and there is no where for them to go. Nature does not naturally produce toxins and consequently is not able to cycle through them - the more chemicals we produce, the more accumulate, and the affects in nature and humans become more severe.

We live in a Toxic Nation. Your body is full of chemicals, learn how to live a healthier, toxic-free (or toxic-less) life style:
