Why are we called Star Throwers?

After a heavy storm a boy walked along the beach throwing washed up starfish back into the sea.

An old man watching him shouted, ‘There are too many of them. It won’t make any difference.’

As the boy picked up and threw another starfish back into the sea, he smiled and said, ‘It made a difference to that one’.

Thank you and your team for all you great work. I’m starting to think I’m one of those lucky starfish that’s been thrown back.
