How can I prevent ocean pollution?
Stop drinking bottled water — Bottled water comes in plastic bottles, which are often dumped into rivers and oceans. Stop drinking soda pop — canned soda pop comes with those plastic rings, which get dumped into rivers and oceans. Stop using hair spray, spray deoderant, anything sprayed — the chemical from spray cans get into the atmosphere and end up in the ocean. Buy a bicycle, not a car — pollution from cars end up in the ocean. Don;t buy anything imported from another country — Those products come into this country on ships. The people on the ships dump their garbage into the ocean, and the ships leak oil and fuel. Don’t use ANYTHING plastic — plastic comes from oil, which is often taken from off-shore drilling platforms. these leak pollution into the oceans. Don’t eat fish or seafood — killing the little animals means the big animals don’t have any food. Basically put, ANYTHING you do will eventually end up polluting the ocean.
