    The Oceans are the source of most of the oxygen in our atmosphere.  
    Reducing the use of single use plastics cuts down on plastic waste in the ocean,  improves the health of marine animals and reduces the plastic-borne contaminants in the ocean.

    All our senses, including curiosity and wonder can be engaged when we leave behind the familiar and change our perspective.  Even a well known path can yield new understanding  as the time, the weather, the season, vary.  Your sense of place grows with each new experience.
