Phytoplankton, the tiny powerhouses of the ocean, not only absorb CO2 but release 2x oxygen as all the trees and plants on Earth combined. The harsh reality is that in some parts of the ocean, for every one Phytoplankton, six microplastics are floating in our oceans. www.youtube.com/watch?v=sOMU...

Public land is where we cast fly rods, bomb singletrack, carve pow turns, and unplug in the wild. It’s our escape. Our heritage. Our shared backyard.

Public land belongs to all of us. Let’s keep it that way. protectourwinters.quorum.us/campaign/114...
