Radical Tea Towel - David Attenborough

Regular price £14.00

Tax included. Shipping calculated at checkout.

With this tea towel the Radical Tea Towel Company has combined an image of 'The Great Wave off Kanagawa', a woodblock print by Japanese artist Hokusai, created in late 1831, with a quotation by Sir David Attenborough:

“The living world can’t operate without a healthy ocean, and neither can we."

Attenborough's words sum up the challenge facing our planet and remind us of the importance of the oceans in its surival.

Our marine ecosystems are under enormous pressure, over a third of the world’s fish stocks are being fished to unsustainable levels and climate change is resulting in unprecedented changes to marine biodiversity.

But despite this, independent research shows the public is more aware than ever – and more worried than ever – of the threat to our oceans and there has been a marked increase in those making the connection with their own buying habits.

But given the scale of the challenge, it is also essential that governments play their part in managing marine ecosystems so we can produce healthy, low-carbon protein for the world’s growing population.
