Hi everyone today, I will show you my exhibition about ocean pollution.
- 00:04 - 00:08
I've made three lines of inquiry So help me dig more into this topic.

- 00:26 - 00:31
My exhibition relates to global number 14 life below water because it's
- 00:31 - 00:34
about sustainably managing and protecting marine
- 00:34 - 00:36
ecosystems and having healthy oceans.
- 00:36 - 00:41
My first line of inquiry is what is ocean pollution?
- 00:41 - 00:45
Ocean pollution is us humans mindlessly dumping trash into the ocean
- 00:45 - 00:50
and not thinking about how it could affect other living species inside the water.
- 00:50 - 00:54
80% of ocean pollution comes from as humans
- 00:55 - 00:57
mindlessly dumping trash into it.
- 00:57 - 01:01
Ocean pollution is made of combination is a combination of
- 01:01 - 01:02
plastics
- 01:03 - 01:08
and which which is bad because plastics takes a lot of years to dissolve.
- 01:08 - 01:11
Studies have shown that a bit of the toxic air
- 01:11 - 01:14
can can be harmful not only to marine animals,
- 01:14 - 01:17
but it can be harmful to us humans.
- 01:17 - 01:20
Ocean pollution can also be caused by the garbage
- 01:20 - 01:24
in landfills and the wind could make the garbage flow
- 01:24 - 01:26
into oceans and make it even more polluted to the
- 01:26 - 01:29
point where there's almost no way to stop it.
- 01:29 - 01:34
Each year, more and more trash goes into our ocean. Where do you think it goes well?
- 01:34 - 01:36
It doesn't go anywhere. So each year,
- 01:36 - 01:43
the old the trash in our ocean fills up more and more and and if we don't stop it,
- 01:43 - 01:45
then most of our oceans will be polluted.
- 01:45 - 01:50
My line of inquiry to is what is the effect of ocean pollution,
- 01:50 - 01:53
as you may know, ocean pollution harms animals.
- 01:53 - 01:57
And it also might harm us because the chemicals insights on waters
- 01:57 - 02:01
are really toxic and filled with a different bits of pieces,
- 02:01 - 02:03
which can be really harmful to us.
- 02:03 - 02:09
Some of these chemicals and spread and could harm in the wild, which is on land
- 02:09 - 02:15
since the ocean provides a home and a wide home to a wide variety of marine species,
- 02:15 - 02:19
it is our job to protect them because around
- 02:19 - 02:23
100 million marine animals are killed because of this.
- 02:24 - 02:26
If this keeps happening,
- 02:26 - 02:30
our ocean will be a harmful place and not a home for for marine creatures.
- 02:31 - 02:35
My line of inquiry three is how can we help ocean pollution?
- 02:35 - 02:38
There are actually many ways to help ocean pollution.
- 02:38 - 02:40
It won't be much, but a little bit counts.
- 02:40 - 02:43
One way we can help is to say no to plastic will
- 02:43 - 02:46
use them really because we have a lot of replacements for them.
- 02:46 - 02:47
For example,
- 02:47 - 02:53
why use a plastic bag when you can just use your own very mental friendly bag.
- 02:54 - 02:59
And why use plastic straws when when you drink or you can just drink out of it
- 02:59 - 03:06
or use metal straws and don't use plastic boxes that can that can put your phone,
- 03:06 - 03:11
that you can put your food in it and just bring your own and why use plastic cutlery.
- 03:11 - 03:12
And
- 03:13 - 03:15
when you can just use your own.
- 03:15 - 03:18
Some studies have shown that some plastics have chemicals.
- 03:18 - 03:21
So isn't it much better to use your own anyway.
- 03:21 - 03:24
You can also help by volunteering at the beach
- 03:24 - 03:29
to clean up some trash. Is that get washed washed into the beaches. You can also help.
- 03:29 - 03:33
I really like not throwing recyclable stuff in the trash bin
- 03:33 - 03:35
and find the recycle event and put it in there.
- 03:35 - 03:39
Or you can put a recycle bin in your house and
- 03:39 - 03:43
maybe every week go to recycle station and you can also
- 03:43 - 03:46
spread this music and
- 03:46 - 03:49
and it can help other people know too.
- 03:50 - 03:53
These last few years, humans have taken oceans for granted.
- 03:53 - 03:57
If we keep doing this, our ocean, our entire ocean will become polluted.
- 03:57 - 04:00
We need to take action now before too late.
- 04:00 - 04:02
Thank you for listening.
- 04:02 - 04:06
I hope you enjoyed my exhibition and I myself has really enjoyed it.
