When I went to camp at Sea World this year, we did a mangrove clean up. We only had about 15 minutes for our 35 person group to clean a streach of mangroves about 30 feet long. The huge pile of debris was amazing. It's so sad how animals eat the trash thinking it's food, then wind up dying because they decided to snack. This doesn't only happen out in nature. Take a walk near the seal and sea lion exhibits at Brookfield Zoo. There's a sing titled "Nickled and Dimed to Death". It explains how a harbor seal died at the zoo because people threw coins into the exhibit. It was so unfortunate to lose such a wonderful animal ambassador to such a tragic and painful death. Thanks for posting on this Camille! It gives me some ideas for my next post. It’s amazing how ignorant people can be. When I went to camp at Sea World this year, we did a mangrove clean up.

Especially because I know for a fact that there are a million trash cans on every beach. Why can't people stop littering! This article sort of relates to one that I did earlier, about an oil spill near Lebanon that pollute the Mediterranean Sea. I think that its horrile that there are so many ways we are polluting the ocean; oil spills, litter, wastes, etc. I think people don't realize that there is a whole different world in there, with living things it it! This article also makes me think twice about going swimming at the beach again. Eww. I agree with Motrya. Especially because I know for a fact that there are a million trash cans on every beach.
