Saif Ali Khan replied to the topic Submerged marine festival ( plastic) in the forum
EAS 217 F20 1 hour, 42 minutes agoI agree in that taking the “easy way” or most convenient way isn’t always the best course of action.

As she mentioned, it starts with the awareness that the general population lacks; not to mention the accelerated, short term, convenience seeking lifestyle that we have gotten used to. Regardless of these challenges, I…[Read more]

EAS 217 F20 8 hours, 36 minutes agoI completely agree with you Lauren. It was my surprise to find out that just in NYC local waters more than 200 fish species are present! OVER TWO HUNDRED!
