Pollution is Not the Solution!

The writing prompt that caught my attention the most was the issue of "The Great Pacific Garbage Patch". Knowing about this issue makes me feel that people should do something about it and learn how to recycle. Putting debris in the ocean can destroy the ocean’s food chain and affect people as well. The fish we eat will be no longer edible because of the toxins from plastic, and can soon lead to diseases. We should make this a major concern because if circumstances like this continue, animals in our environment could become extinct. Animals are dying everyday because of pollution in the ocean. They are more likely to mistaken plastic for food and can die from plastic poisoning or block their digestive system.
I don’t understand why people don’t take action in a serious issue like this. It is really sad to see animals dying because of toxic wastes thrown into the ocean by humans. I think we should take action and stop the throwing of trash into the ocean before it’s too late. If this continues, what will happen to our ocean’s ecosystem? Pollution is certainly not the solution.
