Pollution

As a child, we view the world with rose-colored glasses? As 7 years old not knowing as much as a kid, running through the water, feeling the sand through my toes, the wind going through my hair and smelling the saltiness around me. Just seeing everything perfect in the world when in reality it’s not. Growing up you see how people treat your surroundings around you. Nobody in this world wants to accept the fact that one day our surroundings won’t exist. If, we don’t take any action just imagine how the world would be in the future.

One of our major problems, contaminating our bodies of water with harmful substances. People don’t realize that we need water in order to survive. Every little thing you do will affect earth. For example, if you’re at the beach and you see a piece of trash pick it up. Maybe it’s just a little piece of trash but you make a difference. Just imagine if everyone in the world picking up a small piece of trash; earth would’ve been in a better circumstance. In class, I remember hearing about the garbage island thinking it didn’t exist, me imagining this beautiful clean color blue ocean. After, looking through the pictures my whole point of view change, seeing these large piles of trash on the ocean made me think how we are harming our own earth. All the birds fly by and fishes swim by thinking its food; just picture a dead bird body starting to decay being able to see the caps, fork, and all the pieces of plastic inside the body. We are the ones that created this mess not just one person, literally we need to be cautious of our own actions.

Reducing the water pollution will have better impact on earth. Not just littering affect us but also, the cooking grease, oil, paints and all types of harmful liquids. If we drain harmful types of liquids to the toilets or sink it’ll go to the sewer system which, we wouldn’t been able to drink water. The water we use concerns plants, humans and climate if our water bodies gets chemicals then it’ll bring disease. Sometimes, we don’t think of the negative outcome that can happen to us. Otherwise, lets help our environment there’re types of difference forms to help our surroundings. One of them is recycling by separating each kind of item. For example, separating plastic, paper, cans, and trash. Also, to reduce the use of bleach or detergent because these use of the harmful liquid goes through the drain. Lastly, conserving water helps the amount of contaminated water that needs to be treated. It’s important for our environment to keep it clean; just because it disappears, doesn’t mean it goes away.

As breathing the air, looking at the perfect view at young age, this place is a one of a kind. This place has made me reflect not just in my life but out there in the world. Walking on the bridge, seeing the fishes swim and looking above me seeing the birds flying makes you want to appreciate life. It’s a peaceful place to spent with the family also, a fun place to explore. Therefore, lets take care of our bodies of water. Remember we are humans who make mistakes in life, but let’s not make that as an excuse. The day our ocean doesn’t look the same meaning, it’s full of chemicals and all polluted. It’s going to be late to make any type of moment or difference. So, enjoy each view of every moment of life and take care of your surroundings around you.

At the end of the day it’ll be up to us to blame on if the outcome turns out bad. We are always talking about making earth a better place but in reality, we have to educated people to become better for the future. Teach everyone around you how to pick after themselves. It’s dire that we take action because all our actions has repercussion. So, don’t take advantage of your surroundings; make a difference.
