It’s true confession time. I love reality TV…I know who all the Housewives are, no matter what state they live in…never miss an episode of The Amazing Race and if singers and dancers are competing, you will find me passing judgement like I’m getting paid for it.  But without a doubt, in my opinion, the best reality TV show of all time is…drum roll please….Whale Wars!!  This action-packed Animal Planet series is truly exhilarating to watch. You never know when a whaler’s going to decide to turn his harpoon gun on our fearless heroes, the Sea Shepard crews. Now you may be asking, what do water filters have to do with saving whales?  

Recently, LifeSource Whole-House Water Systems along with Go Green Expo sponsored an evening with Captain Paul Watson of the Sea Shepard Conservation Society, the organization featured in Whale Wars.  Like so many of us here at LifeSource, Captain Watson and the Sea Shepard sailors have very strict environmental ethics.  They won’t buy a disposable plastic water bottle because they know how many end up in the oceans never to be recycled or re-used in any fashion. So when the opportunity came to help bring attention to their cause, LifeSource jumped at the chance.  

 “Right now the oceans are being overly exploited, overly polluted, and it’s the single most threatening issue to our future. If the oceans die, we die.’  - Captain Paul Watson

Captain Watson was one of the founders of GreenPeace, probably the most widely recognized environmental organization on the planet.  Since founding the Sea Shepard Conservation Society, he has become one of the most respected and effective advocates for our planet.  Despite the efforts of both these remarkable entities, our oceans and waterways are continuing to degrade in dramatic and possibly irreversible ways.  
Established in 1977, Sea Shepherd Conservation Society (SSCS) is an international non-profit, marine wildlife conservation organization. Their mission is to end the destruction of habitat and slaughter of wildlife in the world's oceans in order to conserve and protect ecosystems and species. Sea Shepherd uses innovative direct-action tactics to investigate, document, and take action when necessary to expose and confront illegal activities on the high seas. By safeguarding the biodiversity of our delicately-balanced ocean ecosystems, Sea Shepherd works to ensure their survival for future generations.

What do you think of the show and the cause they champion,  let us know.
