lack of fresh drinking water
Bydear editor…for us humans in today’s world we have unlimited fresh drinking water that we can purchase at stores for less then $1.50. i just wanted to put something out there and find something we could do about it. species are struggling for fresh drinking water in all parts of the world. places such as Africa,Eritrea,Somalia are just some of the countries suffering. we aren’t doing much about it though are we? instead we seem to be polluting more and more water everyday without even realizing. air pollution is also increasing. with the amount of acid rain its lowering the fresh waters quality and is left damaged. its hurting the health of all sea animals/species in today’s world. this is not something we should be looking forward to in our future for years to come. there are many things we could do about it…
would recycling make a big difference for this issue?
recycling is one of the best choices in today’s world but nobody seems to care enough to do it. more then 90% of polluted water is all plastics,bottles,bags which are all things we should be recycling. 8 million tons of plastic ends up in our oceans every year which is causing more and more damage to not only animals but for us humans too for lack of fresh drinking water. animals/species are suffering the most, with digesting any type of plastic there life is at risk. 54% of marine animals are impacted with plastic in the body and over 1 million marine animals are killed by plastic pollution every year. we all know species that live in waters are there most important resource on living. its the smallest things we could do to make a big difference.
