Year after year, more and more trash piles up near our oceans and ruins our sealife, all because we can’t pick it up. Throughout Sahuaro High School, you can find a lot of trash scattered around on the ground, especially during and after lunchtime. Picking up your trash after eating and tossing it away can take only a few seconds, yet most garbage is left on the ground or on tables for other people to pick up. Leaving trash can also be harmful to our land animals, such as birds, who may mistake garbage for an insect and try to eat it. The more trash we leave to affect our planet, the more our planet will suffer, and in the end, the more we’ll suffer.
The more we cut down trees for their wood, the more we make Earth lose its plantation, and the more the air we breathe will slowly lessen. We cut too many trees just to make buildings that may produce smoke, which pollutes our air and can harm the birds and insects that fly through it.
As well as, the more smoke we produce, the less we’ll be able to see the sky, and drones that fly through the sky will be blocked by the smoke in their way. Many people use drones as toys or to be able to see higher up with a remotely controlled drone, but if we ruin the air that they use to fly through and see above the ground, then they can’t use their drones, which are not cheap either.
Lastly, the more we steal from the ocean, the more the water levels will fall, and we’ll begin to run out of seafood, which is quite a popular type of dish for many restaurants, like sushi restaurants. We also let our landfill from sewers fall into the water, which affects the wildlife as well. The more we fill lakes, rivers, oceans, and even ponds, the more we are affecting the plants that live underwater, as well as the homes they provide for sea life that inhabit them.
We need to stop cutting down all the trees we can see in sight. We need to stop letting our landfills from sewers and garbage build up and fall into the ocean. We need to clean up all our trash after we eat so as not to let it just sit out to affect our planet’s wildlife. We need to think about how our bad decisions will affect us in the long run before our problems begin to surface, and we get overrun by the irreversible outcome.
Help our Earth to thrive, and it’ll be a better outcome for us all!
