    Hey Riley I worked 6 years in Offshore when I was a nipper. Lost more than 20 of my colleagues in just one accident, on a barge BOS355 piling offshore Zaire went through a 8” HP line. The gas got to the surface and the resulting explosion was devastating. I wasn’t there I helped the guys at the burn units but I saw pictures, the heat was so intense the anchor melted and welded to the deck! Nothing is foolproof I’d hate to see the damage that could be done to that beautiful region even without accidents. Thanks mate for you and your family. You guys rock.

      SLV. I have folowed and loved your channel for many years without thinking anything bad about either of you or your kids. Your last episode with green piece opened my eyes to your hyproxity..
      How many times have you gone to a beach and lit a large fire to cook food and look at a loaded fire of wood that eminates a large amount of heat, smoke and light to make you both feel good in your surroundings? Could you have cooked your food on a small fire to help save the environment?
      No hipocracy please.
      Maybe you will feel a backlash.

    This was an incredibly good episode. It’s heartwarming to see people who live their lives on the shoulders of our natural world, step up to fight for it. Not all hikers, wilderness van lifers or back road world travelers, are courageous enough to tell the powerful forces who put fortunes over the future, “listen, we have to do better.” This one felt really good. ✌🏼

    My carbon footprint is the size of Al Gores pool house yet his jet burns thousand of gallons at 30,00 feet. The Rainbow saves poop to be processed on land yet burns the dirtiest fuel for motor and generators. The environmentalists have forced drilling off shore. There is millions of gallons of oil without risk of spills. Good job!

    This is not only a Beautiful and entertaining video but educational and inspiring. The earth needs all of us to change and stand up for the earth.
    In the late 70s I worked for the Vineyard Commission and helped establish the first county wide oil spill response plan and team. What I learned while researching spills at the WHOI library is that spills will happen at drill sites. It's just a matter of time. And time is of the essence in responding to a spill if environmental damage is to be limited. Damage can't be prevented. How do you respond quickly and effectively 250 miles from shore? You can't. Save Scott's Reef. No exploration or drilling. Also personally switch to electric cooking with alternative energy. Cheers and thanks again.

    On another note. One of the best parenting books that I read and one that made a major difference from the get go was STEP. Systematic Training for Effective Parenting. Not sure if it's even available these days.
    One of the best tips I learned and not only worked great for my children, but also my grandchildren is the phrase, "We don't......". Not, don't applying it directly to the child, such as don't hit your brother, don't touch this or that, don't whatever. It was "We don't touch things that don't belong to us", "We don't hit each other in this family", "We don't go outside without asking permission". Kids respond super well to house rules and it also doesn't target them on a personal level that they will often challenge.
    Hang in there, they do grow up and become much more reasonable. Children of course need parental guidance and sometimes discipline, what you feel appropriate with the children entrusted to you. Children actually thrive in an environment with set rules and set consequences. Think of how your favorite teachers had control over the classroom and was fair in how the rules were enforced. You learned best and enjoyed the environment they created in their classroom.

    Back in the 80s, my father-in-law, a brilliant engineer, humanitarian and anti-nuclear activist, briefly worked with Greenpeace in Northern Alberta, Canada. The last protest he attended was an "attempt" to disrupt a cruise missile test by launching a huge net in its path with balloons. I don't know what went on that day but, when asked how the day went, he sat silently for a very long time before finally letting out a long sigh and replying, "I think I want to go club a seal." And, that marked the conclusion of his collaborations with Greenpeace.😂 I miss that man so much!

    I particularly liked that you addressed that everyone has their own footprint, and shouldn’t be branded as a hypocrite for trying to make a difference at the higher level. It is the systems and decision makers who we should scrutinise, not individuals who often haven extremely difficult decisions to make when balancing their financial, health and social well-being vs their environmental impact.

I understand that the project creates jobs and income, but we really need to start thinking about our oceans.

    That was a very important piece of reef and with you and Greenpeace highlighting the potential devastation there it has to get as much publicity as you can give it,
    One thing I think would help, guys, if you could put a little more context in the support of a reef like Scotts Reef is what it does or adds to the whole biodiversity of the marine life. You mentioned the pygmy blue whales and giant turtles and there will be a whole food chain that all living creatures there survive on. Highlight that and what that means when its all gone and the reef is bleached white and is a wasteland underwater - how does that impact all of the sea life. You have the soapbox and the audience go for it.

    I've seen the coral reef about 15 yrs ago, so beautiful back then, I cannot imagine what they plan on doing! Happy Canada Day, to equate fires on a beach which is heavily monitored by Riley and Elaina, to the heavy-handed oil industry piles in comparison to the actual pollution that Canada is experiencing 8 million hectares of forest fire damage that is being faced on Canadian Land almost yearly due to Climate Change, and it's not expected to rain until nearly October. We do live on One World. What happens in one part of the world, other factors are affected. We are aware that different parts of the US have complained about the smoke. Given the limited capacity to handle massive fires, we are doing what we can, and are thankful for Australians, south African, Ukrainian, and many countries who came to help us in Canada. The firefighters do make a huge difference, so thank you from Canada.

With sincere awareness and action we can end illegal fishing, protect Big BrainHeart ocean mammals, stop waste dumping and more. And yes nobody or organization is perfect! And I expect most of the critics aren't dedicated to a valuable cause. If they were - they wouldn't have the desire to find fault in people doing the best they can to help.

    I'm just discovering your channel. Enjoying the down-to-earth nature of it, your willingness to share your family with us, and the sharing of your knowledge and experience. It's not a big dream but I'd like to get my own family of four and a hound out on the water as well. Pretty far from it now living in the Central Valley of California. It was sad to hear the bleaching of the coral was, in your experience, common and global. I've found the same. I remember snorkeling as a teenager in Hawaii, sometime in the mid 90's, and the coral was alive and magical. Here's to restoring nature to its diverse splendor for our children. Thank you.

    You all are very blessed to have such a wonderful experience. I totally get being stressed about how the boys are behaving. I've been on both sides with 4. I'm guessing the members of the ship may not have little ones on board often. Therefore, most will be fine and probably enjoy seeing 1st hand why they are doing what they do. For the future of course. Can't wait for your boat to be done. And to see that tour. Hugs to all take care 😊🤍

    I appreciate encouraging those of us with a different perspective to watch the video with an open mind. But the same goes for those who don't share these views. They aren't perfect either and should be treated with respect and grace. As the saying goes, "treat others as you'd like to be treated." (Not saying you guys don't do that, just a general encouragement.) Doing a full investigation on both sides of the argument is the only way to be well informed because it's possible that there are some inconvenient truths about climate change that an organization like Greenpeace seem to overlook or ignore. (Motoring from one point to another? Their work couldn't happen without fossil fuels.) And no doubt every human being wants a better world, not just those involved with companies like Greenpeace. The challenge is figuring out how to bring together groups that hold to diametrically opposed worldviews.

  • @dianastevens9156
    @dianastevens9156 Рік тому +1

    Amazing episode. Elayna, I love how you summed it up that our inconvenience if the Woodside project is stopped is so minimal compared to the damage that could occur to the ocean. And in fact, if the destruction of the oceans doesn’t stop we will be more than inconvenienced. However, I am empathetic to the fact that I made a good living from the oil patch and others far less fortunate than I might see this and other such projects as their only chance of a better life. We have to find a way to provide more sustainable environmentally friendly employment options for everyone along side shutting down projects like this. When people are in short term survival mode they don’t have the option of worrying about the long term effects on the planet.

    Regarding your mention of hypocrisy, I think it is safe to say that there are those of us who do not understand why there are so many well known and vocal representatives of this sort of movement who in essence preach to the rest of us while they have a larger carbon footprint than I will ever have. I live as environmentally friendly as I can. Recycle, reuse, upcycle, buy thrift, etc. I fly somewhere maybe once every 10 years. We stay close to home and do staycations, only travelling if there is a funeral to attend and that is maybe every 5-10 years. We grow some of our own food organically. We keep our vehicles for at least 20 years. We live in a small 1000sf house. We recycle our grey water. We use rainwater harvesting. We will never see the world (except through travel channels we watch) but we will have practiced what we preached while not being perfect but at least trying not to be complete hypocrites. Greenpeace uses a ton of diesel travelling all over. I'm truly surprised they don't just rely on their sails to practice what they preach. Why not row out to see sealife instead of motor out? Why do Bill Gates and Al Gore have private jets and live in HUGE houses? Why do they get to buy their way out of their carbon footprints which is a joke? I used to watch Ed Begley Jr and he walked the walk or at least seemed to. Good man. I stopped attending church because I was tired of them preaching one thing and doing another. The deacon sleeping with the sunday school teacher's wife for example. To me, many of these activists are no different. I will continue to try and do better and be better but I see many mouths like BG And AG that should just shut up because they are THE reason people think it's a mockery to care about the environment. They expect us pee-ons to bicycle to work while they take a limo. Yeah, whatever. I hope the whales are not harmed. Thank you for sharing.

    I feel like a lot of people have forgotten how to be nuanced, mostly on social media, there are no eyes to face in the moment and look directly into. To really get a feel for where a person may be coming from, so often times words just get spewed out without regard or thought. We must remember, we are all human and therefore imperfect. We also need to remember how to be compassionate, to empathize, and understand where another is coming from. I don’t know how you UA-cam influencers do this, you have to have some pretty tough skin and mental fortitude to block out those negative voices, it can not be easy. Love your channel been watching for years now. ❤❤❤
