หน่วยป้องกันชายฝึ่งโผล่มาเหนือหัว
หลังออกจากลองบีชไม่นาน
โดยจะพยายามไปให้ถึงออสเตรเลีย
ที่พายเรีอโดยลำพัง
ถึงปัญหาสิ่งแวดล้อม
เพื่อสิ่งแวดล้อมอย่างน้อยวันละหนึ่งอย่าง
คงไม่สามารถพลิกโฉมโลกใบนี้ได้

Why you should listen
A latecomer to the life of adventure, Roz Savage worked as a management consultant for 11 years before setting out in a new life direction -- in a rowboat across the Atlantic Ocean. She completed her solo row across the Atlantic in 2005 and is now on a mission be the first woman to row solo across the Pacific, from the West Coast of the US to Australia. She began the pursuit in 2008, rowing from California to Hawaii, and rowed from Hawaii to Kiribati in 2009. In April 2010 she began the third and final stage of her Pacific row, from Kiribati to Australia.
When not on the open seas, Roz is a passionate environmental campaigner, focused on sustainability and ending plastic pollution. She's working on the new site EcoHeroes.me, where everyday acts of environmental heroism (as simple as refusing a plastic carrier bag) can be tracked and celebrated.
