Time Machine: A machine capable of transporting things backwards, or forwards through time.

To date memories have proven the only reliable method for backwards time travel.

Forwards time travel on the other hand. Well, that's a matter of how long you think a centimeter is.

10-centimeters. That's the most coral can grow in a single year.

Over 75% of the Tunamaya reef has been wiped out over the last 4-years. Not by climate change, rising sea levels, or pollution. 

Here feet are the reefs greatest predator. Day after day, guest after guest walks out onto the reef, smashing decades of coral growth.

Without fish to eat the alga, the coral growing deeper and further from the beach get smothered. 

The adolescent fish loose their place to hide; soon the fish population collapses.

Climate change, rising sea levels, and pollution are monolithic unsolvable problems for the individual. 

But, not walking on the reef and picking up trash from the beach. Well, that's easy enough to do.

Hello Hanoi

Remember the last time you walked onto a travelator and it wasn't working? You just moved from walking on solid ground to solid ground, but still you almost fell over.

Then travel came back. You were moving along that travelator again. Walking at running speed, without effort.
