My Speech
you are stranded on the beach. Hurt. Soul overcast and excruciating pain. beating in your ears is the soft rhythm of the sea. your eyes closing you wonder…
was life ever worth living?
Marine life and seabirds are always living their last moments
on the beach, or even just in their habitat due to, over Fishing, pollution and obviously plastic.
Marine life and seabirds are often found suffering from plastic in there stomach. At least 100, 000 sea mammals and 1 million seabirds are dying every year because of this. It's true.
Fish are one of the most affected… presently we are
eating 19 kilograms of fishPer person per year compared to 1960 when we were only eating 9 Kilograms. But this is not the only cause…
Pollution generates harmful gasses, harming not just the ocean but the wildlife living there.Pesticides are a major source of water pollutant. Diedrin (a pesticide) is very harmful to fish. Making a very harsh end to a fish’s life. Plastic also makes a end to an unrespected fish's life.
Some people might argue that humans have the right to use
plastic bags. Yes, they are convenient and easy to use.
What's not to like about them. Well, you can't get rid of them,
for plastic bags are photogradable. Photogradable means they slowly break down in sunlight. And did you know, every day ships discard 5.5 million ton. Simply adding to the 5.25
trillion pieces of plastic in the ocean.
Humans are not treating the ocean with the respect it needs don't just burn old plastic bottles reuse them. For instance, put an old zip in the middle now you have a new pencil
case. Reusing plastic bags will reduce the amount of plastic in the ocean.
The world is not doing enough to protect the ocean if we aren't careful there will be no more fish to eat and we will all end up eating dads stew for breakfast, lunch and dinner.
