Happy World Ocean Day!

Everyday should be World Ocean Day. I wish for the day when more people know the real value of our ocean and how very important it is to our daily lives. 

Below are some facts about our ocean.

It's easy to forget the critical role the ocean plays in human life. The salty water of the ocean covers more than 70 percent of the Earth's surface. Ocean plants produce some 50% of the planet's oxygen. Seawater absorbs a quarter of the carbon dioxide we pump into the atmosphere. And seaweed extract helps keeps your peanut butter and ice cream at the right consistency!
