Hi, my name is Nicholas Sayer and I decided to write Not a Drop in the Ocean after watching another heartbreaking documentary about the damage being done to our beautiful Marine life and eco system by plastics. I was left feeling angry and frustrated and wondering what I could do to help highlight the issues of plastic in our oceans and the effects it has on our diverse marine life.
I am particularly passionate about this because in the 1990’s I worked as an Offshore commercial diver and was fortunate to see below the surface of the World’s Oceans before we were fully aware of the significant impact being caused to our beautiful marine life by plastics. This is why I feel so strongly about the use of single-use plastics and wanted a way to help get the message out there in an exciting, fun, and open way.
This is why I wrote Not a Drop in the Ocean, I just wanted to help. I am not an activist, I’m not a scientist, I’m not a superhero and I’m certainly not a politician.
I honestly believe It is not about what we have done, It is about what we do next.
