Happy World Oceans Day from the Pacific Ocean - on

Happy World Oceans Day from the Pacific Ocean - on the shores of the Nicoya Peninsula in Costa Rica!

This beach is popular with surfers and beach lovers - and it's a beautiful reminder that we need to protect our oceans not just for us, but all that thrive in and around the seas.

The purpose of the Day is to inform the public of the impact of human actions on the ocean, develop a worldwide movement of citizens for the ocean, and mobilize and unite the world’s population on a project for the sustainable management of the world's oceans.

During dark times, it helps to be reminded of the

During dark times, it helps to be reminded of the beauty and permanence of nature. It gives the mind and heart a break - and can connect us in hope.

We launched #HappierPlace a few years ago to encourage people to take such breaks IRL, and to provide photos and videos for quick mental nature breaks. Because it’s not just about being happier, it’s about being healthier and stronger - to fight the good fight. It’s also about appreciating and protecting nature.

It’s easy to think that nature captures and happiness-talk seem frivolous when one superpower is invading a peaceful country and another superpower is starting to censor its schoolbooks.

But this is the moment we consciously want to say: we will be sharing more of our own and YOUR PHOTOS to create a stream of happier outdoor images to give us all quick breaks and strength to fight the good fight - and as a protest to war, violence and ignorance that don’t just destroy the lives of humans, but also hurt animals, plants, and our entire natural world.

Please join us by tagging us @happier_place and using #HappierPlace so we can spread your nature photos and our message of peace, tolerance, nature and community further.

As an extra encouragement, we’ll be bringing back the monthly giveaway. For March, the prize will be one of our new t-shirts. Check for a post next week, to find out which one…
