Trashes found on the beach

This year, more than 378,000 people volunteered to clean up the beach around the major areas around the globe. "Our ocean is sick," quoted Laura Capps, Senior Vice President at Ocean Conservancy. Trashes are everywhere, about million of pounds. With the International Coastal Cleanup, everyone is helping out the environment and meeting up to pick up the trash, which is a good thing for our ecosystem.

Trash in the ocean kills seabirds, mammals and turtles because of their indigestion. Some were tangled up in nets and plastic bags. These trashes are causing the animal to get cuts and wounds by the glass pieces causing them to get infected. Causing them internal bleedings because of eating it.

Here are some of the facts about how long it takes for the trash in the ocean to decompose:

-A tin can that entered the ocean in 1986 is still decomposing in 2036
-A plastic bottle that entered the ocean in 1986 is decomposing in 2436
-A glass bottle that entered the ocean in 1986 is decomposing in year 1,001,986

From my point of view, I think that it's everyone's fault. It's harming our environment, innocent animals, and ourselves. Who would want to go to the beach and see all the trashes laying around like that? This is a really sad thing because it's mainly harming the ecosystem. Why can't people just hold onto their trash and throw it away in a garbage can?? That's what a garbage can is!! FOR GARBAGEEEE!!! If you can't even throw away your trash properly then you probably don't know anything at all. Think about what you're doing to the environment before you do something. Think about what you're harming. Imagine someone throwing trash in your house. Would you like that? I don't think so. So please... throwing away your trash in a garbage can isn't that hard. Just remember. Even though you think it's not harming you.. it is.
