You + Me Waterloo
Let me show you something

increased industrialization = increased carbon emissions = increased acidity of the ocean = lower pH level = harm to calcifying organisms such as corals = decreasing amounts of algal species = less carbon fixation = less oxygen released into the atmosphere.

Don’t look at me and tell me God will save us from this. Unless we can change something, we’re going to lose our number one oxygen producer.

Wake up calls seriously suck, but without them, I’d not be as passionate about becoming a limnologist.

HE’S SO CUTE!!!
