So, for me, getting an honorary degree from this institution
is like cause for celebration.
That means I have a family, a home here in Spain.
It means to me something that I don't take personally.
It's not about me.
It's about a celebration of what I've been perhaps trying to represent,
to be a voice for the ocean.
It means you're listening.
Thank you.
I'll do my best to convey the message of where we are at this point in time
with our relationship with nature, with the ocean.
It's the last, best chance we have to make peace with nature
and to bring a peaceful relationship, not only among ourselves,
but with all of the natural world.
This is a time when there's never before we know what to do,
we know the planet is in trouble, we know how to fix it,
we just have to have the will to take the action to protect nature,
especially protect the ocean,
as if our lives depend on it, because they do.
We are the luckiest who have ever arrived on Earth
because we have more knowledge,
more awareness of the consequences of our actions than ever before.
And we know that what we do right now or fail to do right now
will determine in a magnified way what the future will be.
What do we want? We want a peaceful world, right?
We want to be able to have food.
We want to have happiness, whatever that means.
It means different things to different people,
but it's the ability not only to survive, but to thrive.
To do that, we must be mindful of what the limits are
to how much of the planet we can take for our prosperity
without killing the planet.
Change, whatever it is, starts with somebody doing something.
Why not you? Why not you?
Why not ask the question, why not? Why not you?
Use that power, share it with others.
És per treure la xarxa de la vida
cap a la recomanació i la recuperació
i no per un moment pensem que no comptem,
si és a més o a negatiu.
Tots fan una diferència.
Estigui a més, figureu el que podeu fer
dins del framework de qui ets, d'on ets i quan ets.
És increïble, però funciona.
Pensa en la història, en qualsevol cosa que ha passat, bé o dolent.
Algú o, a vegades, tota la comunitat,
però comença amb algú.
Per què no ho deixem començar amb tu?
