Ocean phytoplankton and algae produce 70-80% of the earths atmospheric oxygen. Why is tree conservation for oxygen so popular over ocean conservation then?
In: Biology
A 5 year old can touch a tree safely, look at the huge height difference between a 5 yr old, run around and around a tree, they inspire awe… try doing any of those with plankton.
It’s unlikely that most parents know about planktons oxygen production either.
It’s also easily visible (mostly) when something is made of wood, what can you point to in every day life that is made of plankton.
Most people if they can’t touch it and feel it and see it has value, don’t even think about it.
But we should.
