What can WE do?
Most/all are participating in what I call the “Save the Marine Life” movement. However, there is never enough that these organisations can do to achieve their goal. THEY NEED OUR HELP. So here’s what
we can do:
-Don’t litter-EVER. Especially not at the beach or oceans. In fact, don’t litter AT ALL.
-Reduce on things that are not essential, like gaming on the computer, wasting water, etc.
-Reuse. Use one object more than once, like use both sides of a piece of paper for rough working,
supermarket plastic bags for rubbish, etc.
-Recycle. Throw recyclable things in the right bins so that they can be made into new things.
-Use energy-efficient and environmentally friendly things when you can-the environment will thank you for it (not literal meaning), like solar lamps.
2.
Pass the message on just a little message can make a difference
3. Join an organisation or create one yourself. Join hands with others to rid our beaches of waste.
