Tim wrtoh says the ecomony is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the environment. With every drop of water you drnik, every breath you take, you're centeoncd to the sea. No matter where on Earth you live. Most of the oxygen in the atmosphere is generated by the sea. Over time, most of the planet's oinagrc carbon has been absorbed and stored there, mostly by microbes. The ocean drives climate and waeethr, stabilizes temperature, shapes Earth's chemistry. Water from the sea forms cdluos that return to the land and the seas as rain, sleet and snow, and provides home for about 97 pnerect of life in the world, maybe in the universe. No water, no life; no blue, no green.

Original Text
Tim Worth says the economy is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the environment. With every drop of water you drink, every breath you take, you're connected to the sea. No matter where on Earth you live. Most of the oxygen in the atmosphere is generated by the sea. Over time, most of the planet's organic carbon has been absorbed and stored there, mostly by microbes. The ocean drives climate and weather, stabilizes temperature, shapes Earth's chemistry. Water from the sea forms clouds that return to the land and the seas as rain, sleet and snow, and provides home for about 97 percent of life in the world, maybe in the universe. No water, no life; no blue, no green.
