Ted Danson Recruits Kids As Ocean Activists (VIDEO)

Ted Danson is well known for his acting career, but lesser known is his driving passion for the oceans.

Danson has long been fighting for the conservation of the world's oceans and serves as board member to Oceana. His latest book, "Oceana: Our Endangered Oceans and What We Can Do to Save Them," details the dire problems the oceans face, and what needs to be done to protect them.

In today's episode of AOL's "You've Got...," Danson heads to The American Museum of Natural History in New York City in hopes of teaching young kids about the dangers the oceans face.

Danson's plan to recruit these members of the new generation as the next ocean activists, however, doesn't quite go the way he intends...

And people complain about Christianity indoctrinating the young. I am going to have a full time job teaching my children to ask questions in science class.

Nothing like indoctrinating our youth with liberal propoganda. In the late 1980's Danson said that we had 10 years to save the oceans....what happened? This guy is a joke, and is dangerous to our youth.

That's ok at the 1970 earth day by 2000
Populations will be dying because of lack of food production and we would be out of oil (despite the fact that if you include now affordable shale oil we have higher reserves than at any time in history).

Experts believe the Ocean is already past the tipping point. Not that I'm suggesting we shouldn't try, but he may wish to educate those kids on how to prepare a eulogy.

If he was bl a ck and his last name ryhmed with omama, the right would say he was indoctrinating the youth....fox news would be fake outraged.

I'm glad Ted is doing this though. Good for him. The best way to get people to care is to start with their kids. It is going to impact the youth more than any of us. We need to take care of this planet for them.

Fox will say it anyway. You know how much they "love" those Hollywood left wing liberal elitists.
