Oh dear. Sometimes I get quite distressed with this fact. There are people who don't know anything of Jacques Cousteau.
Oh dear.
I guess you have to be of a certain age to remember The Undersea World of Jacques Cousteau. I loved to watch that show. Can't you just hear his voice now, talking about the nitrogen narcosis or the little sea otters they adopted, Pepito and Cristobal? It's funny how strongly I can still hear his voice. I think that's because he is the main man of the Universe. Well, my universe anyway.
Let's all be forever grateful that he opened our eyes to the beautiful oceans and insisted we take immediate steps to preserve them.
How do we ensure that his name is remembered? Surely one of the most important people on the planet deserves something like Jacques Cousteau Day? Perhaps we could all give a silent (or a really loud, whatever you choose) prayer of thanks and appreciation on his birthday, June 11th. Don't worry, I'll remind you.
It's not like we can name an island after him like Mexico did. It's in the Sea of Cortez. Well done, Mexico.
