 Are we doing enough to save our oceans?

On your family holiday, with the sand tickling your toes but suddenly you realize that you can't see the sand you're trudging all over rubbish.  As  you're wondering where it came from you turn your head to look at the ocean.  You’ve found your answer.

Oceans are just too full of rubbish. And here we are ruining our future we need to stop.                                                                                                                  

One of the main reasons why oceans are so important to Earth and humans is because 70% of Earth is covered in ocean. Alyssa James once wrote “ Oceans are the lifeblood of Earth - if they go we go with them.  Oceans are also a vital component to humans is because a sixth of our diet is related to the ocean.

How would you  feel if you were one of the 100,000 marine mammals that have died, or one of the 90% of seabirds that have eaten rubbish?

In 1975  over 14 billion tons of rubbish was dumped in the ocean. You may think that it is only rubbish that can cause deaths or injury but also pollution, over fishing and worst of all oil spills.   

If you are wondering how you could prevent this from happening, here is the answer: Firstly you can use less plastic for example you can use reusable bags instead of plastic. Also you can stop it before it starts by picking up any litter. Of course everybody knows that recycling and composting is helps the environment but did you know that in 2010 they save 85 billion tons of garbage.  

So if YOU still want beautiful clean oceans and wonderful sealife than perhaps YOU should  look after our oceans.
