Leave the Australian Coral Reef alone

http://www.australiancoralreefsociety.org/

A colleague of mine is planning to fly to Australia and visit the Great Coral Reef. The Coral Reef is rapidly dying (bleaching) because of the acidification of water and increased temperatures.
She says "I want to see it before it dies".
That's the point. The Coral Reef dies BECAUSE we burn so much fossil fuel to fly people and goods around the world.
So, if you really love The Coral Reef, DON'T FLY to see it, just watch pictures or a documentary, it's a far more energy-efficient way to see it. And give the money you have saved to a reforestation project.
