The Odyssey Page #2

- That's why.

- Where the hell is the car?

They are the ones who pollute,

but they buy advertising time

every year.

- Cut out the left-wing diatribe for me.

- Hey, we don't need these guys.

The world's oceans are in danger.

I am here today to announce

the creation of the Cousteau Society.

A non-lucrative organization

whose mission is to protect nature.

If industrialists pollute,

it is not out of cynicism.

They do not want

to actively destroy the planet

and they will be willing to accept

and follow the regulations

of the politicians,

but the politicians don't do anything

because they are thinking

of their elections.

And the funds collected by

the Cousteau Society will be used

to produce our future documentaries

and to raise public awareness

for the need to save nature.

I believe it will take a widespread

people's movement

to push the governments

to take the necessary measures

to protect the planet.

Now, my son Philippe

and myself

will give conferences.

We will go and meet the people.

And you believe that the people

will rise to the occasion?

You see, people think the sea

is so immense that man

will never be able to destroy it

and that is a fundamental error.

One day, we will no longer

be able to swim in the sea.

Because only the simplest forms of life,

such as bacteria and viruses

will be able to survive the pollution.

The longer we wait,

the poorer the world we want to save

will be.

Yeah.

We have the power to act

as citizens of this world,

for the sake of our children

and our grandchildren.

We can change things.

This is our planet,

and it's the only one we have.

Man has probably done more damage

to planet Earth

during the course of the 20th century

than in all of human history before that.

We live in an interminable succession

of absurdities

imposed by the blind logic

of short-term thinking.

The demographic explosion.

The divorce of south and north.

The climatic changes of all sorts.

The elimination of thousands of species

all over the world.

The dictatorship of materialism.

The only cure is the recourse

to utopia!

Yes, of course I wanna talk to her.

Put her on the phone.

Daddy?

Daddy?

Hello, yes?
