Water pollution - Essay

 Water pollution has been a problem for years. We must realise that if we don’t do something about it, it could seriously affect our world even more than it has already. Unfortunately it is and has only been getting worse. 

This serious issue has been caused by rubbish such as plastic bags, plastic bottles, glad wrap, packets and more( being thrown out and ending up in the water, which has and still is harming sea animals) bacteria which sometimes is left in rubbish and ends up contaminating the water  and other toxic things in the ocean, rivers, streams etc. Leaving the water undrinkable, unswimmable and toxic to the environment and humans. 

It is endangering and bringing extinction to sea mammals. Thousands of sea mammals such as sea turtles, seals, seabirds and others die each year from either ingesting or being tangled in plastic, potentially endangering a range of sea life. Water pollution is also causing a massive change in climate, causing global warming which is soon to be the reason for our own defeat/extinction.

To fix this problem people need to be more sustainable. People could do this by buying reusable resources or make stuff out of things that you won’t use again or could possibly be harmful for the environment, the world's population and the world in general. Another way of people being sustainable would be for us to put our rubbish in the bin.   

In Conclusion we can see that this all rounds up to how important sustainability is and how it links to everyday life. We must make a change before it’s too late.  Even small changes such as being more aware of how we are using our resources can help address climate change.
