Jacques Cousteau

Many people know that the earth is covered with water. In fact, 3/4 of the earth is water. The major oceans (i.e. Atlantic, Indian, etc.) are salt water. We can't drink salt water. Sadly enough, we are destroying our oceans and various other parts of our precious earth. But there are people out there who commit their lives to preserving the earth. One man in specific has accomplished such a thing. He has worked to …

… marine environment and his use of his television series to promote better understanding of the undersea world. Cousteau's devotion to the protection of the ocean and its life forms inspired him to develop the Cousteau Society which currently has over 300,000 members worldwide. Because of the work Cousteau has done and his many followers, the oceans may be able to be saved from their sure destruction by the thoughtlessness of so many in this world.
