Recently, one Instagram profile has started gathering traction for all the right reasons.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><!--more--><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><em>\u201cScreens are so often our window onto the world. We filter the infinite currents of information and images through them. They shape how we think and they catalogue our experiences. That\u2019s why I\u2019ve never been on social media. And it\u2019s also why I\u2019ve just joined social media.\u201d \u2013\u00a0Javier Bardem<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Until a few months ago Spanish actor, Javier Bardem, refused to delve into the time-sucking black hole that is social media &#8211; it was only when he joined a three month Greenpeace expedition that he dove into those treacherous waters. But it wasn\u2019t so that he could show fans \u201cA Day on Set with Javier Bardem\u201d. Whilst the rest of social media seeks to distract us from the issues at hand, Bardem has brought them back into the light. Documenting his journey with Greenpeace, he is imploring his followers and fans to take action. To seize the opportunity to preserve this untouched paradise before it is too late.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: justify;\">What is the Weddell Sea?<\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Bardem released a breath-taking video as he ventured down into the depths of the Weddell Sea. A two-hour long adventure taking him to a startling 885 feet below the surface.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><i>\u201cAs soon as we reached the seafloor, I was completely amazed by the overwhelming variety of colours and life all around us.\u201d \u00a0&#8211; Javier Bardem<\/i><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The Weddell Sea is home to iconic sea creatures such as penguins and Killer Whales. And plays an absolutely integral role in ocean circulation. The Weddell Sea happens to be one of the\u00a0very few places where surface water is dense enough to sink into the deeper parts of the ocean. In the winter, the waters surrounding this area are \u00a0extremely cold and become more saline as water is taken up during ice formation. A combination of low temperatures and higher salinity allows these waters to sink below. This process creates salty Antarctic bottom water. Without this, the deep waters of the planet would quickly become hypoxic. Life in the depths would cease to exist.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: justify;\">How can I help protect the Antarctic ecosystem?<\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Other oceans are being\u00a0overfished until the brink of collapse. It is only a matter of time until fishing fleets start turning to the Weddell Sea. Greenpace has launched a <a href=\"https:\/\/secure.greenpeace.org.uk\/page\/s\/antarctic\">petition<\/a>, which you can sign, in order to urge the Antarctic Ocean Commission to pass a new mandate. They would create the largest wildlife sanctuary on the planet. Spanning 1.8 million square kilometres in the Weddell Sea, the reserve would cover an area five times the size of Spain!\u00a0Far too many of us get hung over the fact that we are only one person. How can one person make a change? Let alone a mere student.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">What if Martin Luther hadn\u2019t decided to post his 95 theses? If Galileo decided he didn\u2019t want to break the status quo? What would the world look like today if everyone decided they couldn\u2019t make an impact? It all starts with one person believing they can make a difference. <strong>And why can\u2019t that person be you?<\/strong><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><em>Written by Sophie Z.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>With every other celebrity posting pictures of their fluffy dogs,\u00a0glamorous trip to the Bahamas, or\u00a0yet another picture of overpriced avocado toast.
