There’s a lot of talk right now about climate change, but most people don't realize how climate change will impact the ocean. Climate change is resulting in ocean acidification and rising sea temperatures which can greatly harm many marine species and the health of the overall ocean. Keeping the ocean healthy is also hugely important for fighting climate change since the ocean plays an incredibly important role in regulating climate due to the fact that 80% of the world’s oxygen comes from the sea.

Vast amounts of energy are used in making consumer products. Lots of energy and resources go into everything you buy. By purchasing less stuff you will reduce your carbon footprint, conserve resources, and prevent pollution.

• Commute wisely
  
  Try biking, take public transportation regularly, seek carpooling partners, or consider telecommuting

• Buy less stuff
