David Helvarg - David Helvarg (born April 10, 1951) is an American journalist and environmental activist. He is the founder and president of the marine conservation lobbying organization Blue Frontier Campaign, a part of the Seaweed rebellion, which arose from his second book Blue Frontier. His first book, The War against the Greens, puts a case that violent organized resistance is being orchestrated against the environmental movement.
Helvarg began his career as a freelance journalist before becoming a war correspondent and then returning to news journalism. He writes about politics, AIDS, and sea life. He has reported from every continent and he has been published in specialist and popular magazines, and US newspapers both locally and in syndication. His experience of military conflict, civil conflict and marine biology is the basis of his lobbying.
David Helvarg presents 50 Ways to Save the Ocean, practical, easily implemented actions everyone can take to protect and conserve the ocean. The book also looks at toxic pollutant runoff, protecting wetlands and sanctuaries, saving reef environments, and replenishing fish reserves.
Does that mean that in several million years the whole planet will look like a department store display at Christmas time, with fake plastic snow all over everything?
