Summary

In Episode #47, I sat down with environmentalist, fellow Aussie, and ocean lover Tim Silverwood. Tim is the co-founder of Take 3, an organisation that encourages people to collect rubbish and dispose of it correctly. He was also recently featured in the documentary Blue and is an absolute wealth of knowledge about the damage we’re doing to this planet and what we can all do to fix it. Get ready folks…some of the statistics about the damage we have caused is mind blowing! We discuss ocean plastics, microplastics, plastics in drinking water and soil, single-use plastics, and the damage being done to the planet. But importantly, we also discuss what we can do to help the planet regenerate and prevent further destruction. If you care about the ocean and the ecosystem as a whole, then you need to listen to this. Speaking personally, this conversation got me thinking about a number of things that I can do to help our planet. For more insights and reflections, visit The Proof website for the full show notes.

Quick one. My team tells me we actually have very few reviews relative to the weekly audience

numbers. This is no doubt my fault, as I've always felt a little weird about asking you

0:12.2

to do something for me. But clearly, if you don't ask, you don't get. So if you're enjoying

0:17.6

the show, if it's providing you value, please take 30 seconds and leave a review on Apple

0:22.6

or Spotify. In doing so, you'll help the show rank higher, which means we can continue

0:27.5

to attract the brightest and most trustworthy people in science. My team and I have big plans

0:32.6

for the show where we want to be in 24 months and we need your help to make this possible.

We call it Planet Earth, but we really should call it Planet Ocean. That's where most of

0:45.8

life is. All our climate is dictated by the ocean. I mean, the oceans are it. We are so insignificant

0:52.5

in a planetary context, if you actually look at the oceans in that way. Look at how we've

0:56.9

treated the oceans historically. We take from the oceans all that we want and we throw

1:02.0

back all that we don't. We somehow think the oceans are going to be okay because throughout

1:06.8

time, there's been this wonderful source to sort of dilute all the pollution that we send

1:12.4

out there because the oceans are remarkably vast. But we're now getting this point where

1:16.6

the scales are tipping. If we carry on our current ways by 2050, there's going to be more

1:22.0

plastic in the sea than fish. We need an absolute revolution in the way that we look at our

1:29.5

relationship in the ocean. That's Tim Silverwood and this is the Prove Podcast.

Hey, Plant Friends. Thanks for tuning in to another episode of the Plant Prove Podcast.

Most of you know who I am, but for new listeners, my name is Simon Hill. I'm the host of this

show and it is on this show that I get to bring on super inspiring guests to help us
