That’s Expensive Poo!

There are 14 subgroups including Blue Whales, Gray Whales, Right Whales and Humpback Whales that are part of the Baleen Whale group.

We’ve lost 95% of them over the past few hundred years, but there are 800,000 – 1,000,000 of them left.

Per this video and this article, the value to us of a Baleen Whale’s poo is approximately $2,000,000 per whale, or $2T in total; as it feeds phytoplankton, which, besides feeding small fish, absorbs CO2 and creates 50% of the oxygen we breathe.

Oxygen is sort of important. 

Given that we’ve already lost 95% of all whales, keeping the last 5% happily pooping should be on all our to-do lists.  Not just in our words, but in how we act and run our businesses.   

As you go thought your day, running your business, think about how your actions are helping or hurting our whales and the oxygen they help provide.
