Why call her Sea instead of Earth ?Because our planets surface contains over 70% water, and since the surface is where all lifeforms live, including us, wed like to replace the old Mother Nature idea of our planet with the proper image, that of a young, fragile mermaid who needs our help.So, EcoMermaid stands for our world, and our mermaid symbol at EcoMermaid depicts the frail, young planet for who she really is! After all, our planet is young ! At this time, as most of you already know, Sea needs the help of every person in order to survive, let alone to thrive. Because with every choice each person makes every day, he or she is either condeming the planet or saving her.We at EcoMermaid would like to give you a chance to make helpful choices for our planet, which will not o­nly bless your own soul, make your own body beautiful and healthy, not o­nly energize you, youthize you, but will improve the quality of life for everyone.EcoMermaid will give everyone a chance to have fun, to shop, to learn, and to help save our Planet, Sea.
