Lately I have been becoming more involved in cleaning our mother earth. Earth is our home and should be treated with respect, but every day you constantly see trash out in our streets, parks, oceans and everywhere. Pollution is what’s leading the earth to die; therefore we will slowly die as well. About a month ago I went to an ocean force clean up event where you grab trash bags and you go to the beach and clean up. Sounds simple right? but in the end almost no one showed up. At the clean up the organizers told us to focus on the almost microscopic pieces of trash that are almost done decomposing because they are the most harmful. He told us that if a fish eats that tiny piece of trash and then humans go kill it, cook it and eat it, then they are too eating that tiny trash that can produce cancer. We began to observe the ground closely and it was ridiculous amounts of tiny decomposed trash. It was amazing the abundant amount and to think people aren’t even aware. I am trying to get more involved in beach clean ups and anything ecological. Now every time I am at the beach or at school or anywhere I pick up after myself and tell others to pick up after themselves as well.
