Each year, billions of pounds of waste are poured into the ocean. Because of this, many people, places, and things are affected. Take coral reefs, for example. Waste, from microplastics to plastic bottles, is the reason the coral reefs are depleting so quickly. They are one of the many things that we need to save for future generations.

You may think, "Ok, that's sad, but it doesn't affect me." Well, think again. Do you like seafood? What if I told you that when animals eat tiny bits of plastic or metal, and you eat that animal, the same junk that could have been floating around in the ocean for decades, and been God knows where, just ended up inside you. And the new style of shirt you are obsessed with for some reason? What if I told you the fashion industry has become one of the leading causes of global pollution? What you do matters, for better or worse.

And the worst part? This is all our fault, and we brush it off like nothing. We ignore it and act like it's someone else's problem. "A better person will help." You say, "What can I do, anyway?" Don't give up. There is still time to fix this. By signing this petition, you, along with others, can show the world you care. You show the world that this is something we can fix. We haven't written ourselves into a corner yet. Here are some things you can do to help:

1. Sign the petition.
2. Do additional research on the topic.
3. Smile and have a good day. This is mandatory. What's the use in saving the planet if everyone in it is broken already?

Thank you for reading my petition. Just listening shows your support, so thank you, I appreciate it! God bless you, and have a great day!
