Save me, if you want to save yourself.

Hello, everyone.
I am albatross. I stand here to represent all ocean’ creature.
My family and friends such as birds, fishes, coral reefs, turtles, and even marine mammals are dying now.
I just lost my parents. They mistook wastes for food.
Do you think they are stupid? Maybe they are.
But, All you are guilty about my parents’ death.

If you have experience to use plastic, especially plastic water bottle.
You are guilty. Your plastic water bottles kill the ocean now.
Oceans make up 97% of Earth’s waters. Oceans feed us and sustain us.
And, most of oxygen in our atmosphere is generated by the sea.
Oceans control our climate and weather, so our lives depend on the ocean.
Yet, we’re poisoning the ocean with hundreds of millions of tons of plastic.
Over 2 million plastic beverage bottles are used every 5 minutes in the U.S.
As little as 10% of plastic bottles are recycled, the rest end up in landfills or in our oceans.
As one of result of this, there is a garbage patch twice the size of Texas in the North Pacific.
It is called ‘the great pacific garbage patch’. These trash directly effects ocean life. 100 million marine mammals and turtles in the north pacific are killed every year by plastic in the ocean. 70-100% of North Pacific sea birds are affected by eating plastic.
You must remember, my parents starved to death because ate too much plastic trash.
Also, Plastic fragments concentrate pollutants up to one million times ambient levels in the sea.
It is effect on turning in just plastic to poison. The fish you eat have likely ingested contaminated plastic.
As a result, you are indirectly ingesting contaminated plastic. Nature can no longer produce organic fish in the ocean.
So, here is my warning, if you keep using the plastic water bottle, my friends and I are going to be died.
And then, let me guess. Finally, you might be died too.


So, challenge!
People! You must stop using plastic beverage bottles!
Stop to this disaster before its too late.
Government! You must consider the significant regulations for factories of plastic.
You must not neglect to this situation.

Imagine Earth without oceans.
It’s easy to do,
You can reduce the ocean pollution.
You can save me and my friends and yourself.
