I finished watching the documentary "Chasing Coral" in bits and pieces over the weekend. How should I put it, it can be said to be the most shocking nature documentary I have ever seen. The biggest feeling after watching it is regret. When I first started watching, I really felt that coral reefs are such a wonderful and magical organism. It was not until I looked back that I slowly started to come into contact with and understand the "new concept" of coral bleaching for me- ---- in fact it has already happened a few years ago and is still expanding ---- causing most of the world's corals to be attacked to death. This documentary was made in 2017, when 67% of the coral reefs on the Great Barrier Reef in the North Region had disappeared - the equivalent of losing most of the trees between Washington and Maine.... We usually talk about global warming. The first time I realized how serious it was, and not only heard from textbooks, was from a documentary about polar bears: a mother polar bear and her cubs on a hillside due to a large reduction in the ice surface Eating plastic from a buoy - how heart-wrenching and cruel it is. The dangers of climate change go far beyond polar bears and beyond coral bleaching. There is no doubt that humans caused and accelerated it all. Everything on this earth is closely related to us, and the uncontrolled waste and pollution of the current resources and environment is undoubtedly an overdraft to our future home. We shouldn't, and can't, let these become the content of old textbooks in the future. When you look into the timeless beauty of climate change that is happening in our time, it's disappearing rapidly right under our noses, and seeing corals that produce chemical sunscreens to protect themselves from the heat is beautiful at the same time. When it shows the state of the death stage ----- all this painful statement, I think you will not feel sorry for it... The official website for the action guide we can do, summed up is probably: support clean energy; Reduce purchases of animal products; reduce single-use plastics; travel green; swim and dive sunscreens for oxygen-free benzophenone. (This action guide summary is taken from a soybean oil summary in the comment area) Maybe we are temporarily unable to reach the heights practiced by Zack and his team in the disciplinary film, but at least each of us can work hard to do what we can matter. Don't be good and small, and encourage each other...
