Here in Ukraine, we hear a lot about ocean pollution. Yet, we got used to hearing about this problem so much that we do not really notice it. It seems like if it is somewhere far away and that it will solve itself. It has to be said, that in my dear country this problem is really urgent. People throw huge piles of litter everywhere. My father says that it is because we do not have any working penalty charges. But I think that is not the lack of penalty, but the lack of awareness. It is worth saying that my parents care about it more than lots of other people. That is why, when we rest somewhere on the river banks, my family and I always take bags to clean the place after other people. We leave it cleaner than it was before us. This is a small step, but if everyone would do that, ocean would become a lot cleaner. As it is said, “Think globally, act locally.”
