#choosenaturefirst Protect Our Whales

They are majestic, massive and mysterious – and they could hold a secret for combating climate change.

Over a lifespan of around 60 years, whales – especially great whales, such as right and grey whales – accumulate an average of 33,000kg of CO2. When they die, they sink to the bottom of the ocean, locking that carbon away for hundreds of years. By comparison, a tree absorbs up to 21 kg of CO2 a year.

As much as anything else, whales are vital to our ecosystem, so let us be gentle with our giants! Go Beyond The Hour and #ChooseNatureFirst. Check out the link below to find out more:
