Tomorrow is World Ocean Day.




Plastic trash is choking our ocean, and 80% of it comes from land.
We can do better!

Hi Luke

People don't seem to realize how serious this matter is and the devastating impact it has on marine life. So sad...

Agreed, recycling would help.thumbs up


Hi Cocheta,

You hit the nail on the head and living by the ocean for the majority of my life one can actually see how the ocean water's quality has deteriorated over the past 10 to 20 years. There is no other way to describe this tragedy but as 'sad'.moping And this is all the doing of the short sighted selfish 'beings' called man.sad flower

Nice blog Luke,tiz sickeningly shameful and selfish the total disregard much of mankind has towards nature. Typical human traits "think of ourselves and to hell with the consequences for future generations". Thankfully there are many people trying to help undo some of the damage,but far more people need to be aware of whats going on all over the planet,education plays a key role in such matters i think..cheers

With most problems in this world...it is not enough to talk about them......seems like it is only when it begins to affect us personally, that we get serious about solutions! This "plastic pollution" is another example of disregard for the planet, our only home. All those who do not see it this way, our ONLY HOME at this time, will sadly find out what it is like to reap the rewards of not caring for this home! Thankfully, these video clips indicate planning and seeking solutions to deal with the "plastic pollution"...the handwriting is on the wall ..the time to get serious couldn't be any plainer..It IS NOW!... pointing thumbs up ...Avias
