2 Minutes on Oceans With Jim Toomey

Shoes & socks.
Peanut butter & jelly.
Hugs & kisses.
Paper & pencil.
Salt & pepper.

There's a new dynamic duo in town of things that go together:
Cartoonist Jim Toomey & the United Nations Environment Programme! 

Together they are partnering up to raise awareness on oceanic issues involving coastal environments and how we can impact the ocean (both negatively and positively).

Jim Toomey is a favorite of mine, and I've written about his oceanic cartoon "Sherman's Lagoon" before. He's got a new series of 9 video shorts out with his "2 Minutes on Oceans With Jim Toomey" video series. They include:

The Land-Ocean Connection




Blue Carbon




Marine Litter



The Climate Change Connection



The True Value of Our Oceans



Nutrient Runoff



Adaption to Sea Level Rise



Waste Water: A Widespread Threat & Missed Resource



Green Fins for a Blue Planet
