Our current economic model is destroying nature.
But protecting nature is good for the economy!

We need to break the link between economic growth and environmental degradation, says @WWF's @manupulgarvidal: https://t.co/L3sPfqJBNR #WEF20

Sharks' ability to swim and feed could be compromised as #oceanacidification threatens to eat away at their teeth and scales: https://t.co/x9xeADSXyz @sciam

[MBARI @MBARI_News]

A direct consequence of CO2 buildup in the ocean is the acidification of seawater. Calcite, a mineral secreted by many organisms living in the ocean, covers a large part of the seafloor and acts as a natural antacid, neutralizing this excess CO2. https://t.co/aWe2LJIt57

[Ray Dalio @RayDalio]

Having open-minded conversations with believable people who disagree with you is the quickest way to get an education and to increase your probability of being right...

[Michael Seibel @mwseibel]

If you are actively monetizing a human addiction you really have to think hard about whether you are making the world a better or worse place. Humans regularly become addicted to products that are very harmful.

Eventually, the financial rewards will surpass my passion and be the asterisk in my life.

[Dennis Yancey @balanced_oceans]

@RayDalio statement describes why I'm passionate about @marauderrobo. I love building Tech that will have a high positive impact on our oceans and our world. I'm working harder for myself than I ever would just earning a paycheck.

[Ray Dalio @RayDalio]

Work is either 1) a job you do to earn the money to pay for the life you want 2) what you do to achieve your mission, or some mix of the two. I urge you to make it as much 2) as possible, recognizing the value of 1). If you do, most everything will go better than if you don’t.

[Dennis Yancey @balanced_oceans]

@mwseibel Technical advisors are subject matter experts (SMEs) that temporarily fill a perceived knowledge Gap at a company in addition to adding some degree of credibility.

[Ray Dalio @RayDalio]

This evolutionary cycle is not just for people but for countries, companies, economies—for everything. And it is naturally self-correcting as a whole, though not necessarily for its parts.

[Dennis Yancey @balanced_oceans]

The decline of striped bass populations is yet another example of collapsing wild fisheries. We MUST take action now if we are to save our waterways and oceans!

Almost everything I've learned about startups:

* Aim to get to cash flow positive early
* Don't overly optimize for private market valuations
* Build a great team and culture
* Make sure the business model *works*
* Focus, focus, focus. Dilution of effort will crush you
