“Everyone everywhere is inextricably connected to and utterly dependent upon the existence of the sea.” Sylvia Earle was named the first Hero of the Planet by Time Magazine and she has been a National Geographic Society Explorer in Residence since 1998. Sylvia is called ‘Her Deepness’ and the ‘Sturgeon General ‘by the New York Times, a Living Legend by the Library of Congress, and she is my guest on my Earth Day Edition. Sylvia Earle is a beautiful storyteller and recounts her life story, including inventing submarines to explore and her record-setting open-ocean, JIM suit dive, untethered to 1250 feet and what she saw standing on the ocean floor. Dr. Earle sees all of us as “the most important people who have ever lived on earth because technology is now giving us all the power to know, demand change, and stop treating our oceans as a free grocery store and garbage dump. As a bonus feature, I talk about RBC's Tech for Nature - Tech for Nature, a global, $100 million-dollar multi-year commitment from the RBC Foundation to support new ideas and technologies that address the most complex environmental issues. Over 100 projects are underway.
