Water Pollution

Water pollution is a very big problem that many people want to take care of. Polluting the water can come from trash from humans, ground water, and rain water. This has been a problem always but has just gotten worse because no one has done enough to help. On top of that the population is rising by a lot. This means more trash will be disposed of that can end up in the water. Many animals die from getting stuck in the trash with no way out and some die from eating it. It’s not just aquatic animals that die from this it is also land animals like birds. The good thing is more people have started to realize the problem and started putting together little groups to clean up as much as they can. The water still has disgusting amounts of gross water and trash in it that we need to fix. Every body of water has tons of trash in it that you might not be seeing that is underwater harming animals and plants too. A solution I have thought of would be to make many groups that alternate the days they go out on boats and pick up as much trash as possible. For this it would be good to have people like fishermen who have off time or any other people who are on the water a lot so that we have no problem getting boats. Although we would have a fundraiser to get gas and other things to help clean like trash bags and all of that good stuff. I think this would help because the less trash the less chance for animals that we need to get hurt or die from all the gross trashy water. If these people are dedicated we could help the waters a ton. There are not many other options for this kind of project so I feel this is the best idea for the cleanup. It is important to follow this movement so we can still produce much food for people and so people can make their living on the water. Also it is good to do this so that we can enjoy the water.
