Pollution

Dear Marine Visitors,

This week's theme is on Pollution.


What is Pollution?

Well, Pollution is the act of dirtying something. Some examples are :

Pollution of Water, Pollution of Air, etc.

Pollution is one of the harmful acts done by us. Pollution causes hurt to Marine Life.

How does Pollution cause harm? What does Pollution do to Marine Life? How does Pollution take place?

Well, Pollution is done mainly because of litter. Some litter-bugs, instead of throwing litter into the correct place, just either throw it onto the floor or throw it into the water. Throwing litter into the water, is not only inconsiderate, but is also polluting the water. Whereas throwing litter on the floor, pollutes the air.

Once we throw litter into the water, we tend carry on littering the water and soon, the water becomes polluted.

Pollution causes the water to be really dirty. But when we throw litter into the water, we neglect the fact that there are creatures living in the water , fighting for their lives, having to live with the fact that we, as humans, in a way, ignore them and pollute their living enviroment.

We, as humans, also dislike our own living enviroment to be polluted(eg. air). Does that mean that Marine Creatures have to bear the fault of our air being polluted? Does that mean that we take it out on Marine Creatures by polluting THEIR living enviroment? Our living behavior is the cause of Pollution. The Marine Creatures have nothing to do with it. Do not take it out on them. Do not blame them for Pollution. Do not pollute their living enviroment. In short, here is a saying :

Do Unto Others, What You Want Others To Do Unto You.
