Save the sea to see the future

Do you ever think about how much rubbish is actually in the ocean? And how dangerous it is? 

Currently our ocean is filled with rubbish. Any kind of rubbish can get into the ocean, from glass bottles to aluminum cans and even medical waste. You may have heard of the great pacific garbage patch, the patch is a place in the pacific ocean that has a surface area of 1.6 million square kilometres which is twice the size of Texas and three times the size of France. Many organizations and companies across the world are doing their best to help clean and eventually decrease the size of the patch and hopefully get it to a point where it can't get any bigger. You may be wondering how the garbage patch came to be, it formed by the pollution in the ocean being pushed towards by ocean currents. The garbage patch and ocean pollution in general is effecting our environment in a negative way because it is killing marine life to the point of extinction and making it hard for humans to use the ocean in the way it is meant to be used. 

Not to mention that the ocean produces over half of worlds oxygen and absorbs 50 times more carbon dioxide than our atmosphere. 

There are many things us humans can do to make a difference in ocean pollution and to help our planet from global warming. If we all do our part and not litter, use recyclable products and raise awareness about this situation we can help our ocean and make a change.
