  • Essay / trash in the ocean - 642

    Garbage in the oceanThe reason I chose this topic is because I don't like seeing trash in oceans, lakes or ponds. It's annoying how people don't know how to take care of things. Especially other people see it, not just one or two people but thousands of people see it. When people see that there is waste everywhere in the area, they will not want to go back to that ocean or that part where they went because they see that everything is waste there and it is not not healthy for humans and the ocean. I just don't like seeing trash everywhere, I think it's disgusting. So I want to talk about it because I don't like it and I think it's a good topic to talk about. What we should do is throw a lot of trash on the ocean side. Having all this trash in the ocean is really not necessary. We could possibly make a big net, attach it to a helicopter and collect the trash like that. People can die from all this trash in the ocean. I just don't understand why people don't care where the trash goes, so they put it wherever they want. We probably can't allow food, drinks or bags to be left on the beach unless they are items that people need. It's so hard trying to keep it clean because not everyone cares about their trash. If someone doesn't pick up their trash, no one will pick it up. People think that because there is trash flying around the beach, it is normal for their trash to fly too. If someone drops a plastic bag and hits a baby in the face, what will that person do? It is dangerous that the waste is there like nothing. As individuals, we can also stop it by telling our friends and family. If anyone sees trash near them, they should take it out. Don't do it... middle of paper ......ic and get sick because of it. All of this trash can kill ocean mammals, even if they are just floating on top of the water. It is always harmful to them and to humans. This can kill, suffocate or poison the mammal. If humans decide to go swimming in the ocean and choke on a piece of plastic that breaks into pieces and they open their mouth for some reason and put trash in their mouth, they can suffocate and possibly die. Quite simply because people like to put their waste wherever they want. A lot of waste comes from the land if the beach is right next to it.
