Reflection

As our world is being polluted, people have only themselves to blame. Humans ruined the nature on our Earth. A person might have littered a piece of plastic, but that piece of plastic killed a living creature. People dumped their waste into the ocean, and that waste killed all the fish in the surrounding area. Pollution from the cities started melting the ice in Antarctica, forcing animals that lived there to move to a safer home. Over-population stole homes from young children and families. Over-population led people to build more homes. Those homes destroyed parts of nature. Nature was destroyed because humans have been careless about their environment. They thought that tossing a candy wrapper in the ocean would do no harm, but it did. As the world revolves around humans, they begin to wonder when the world will end. They don’t realize that they will be the ones who will destroy Earth. They will allow the process to go on because they litter, pollute, over-populate, and destroy. However, not all humans are careless, there are people in the world who try to prevent such horrid things from becoming a reality. They would rather keep it as a nightmare than something that will happen in real life. My piece of art shows what Earth has become and what it will be if we continue to let harm come to nature. It shows dead fish in plastic bags, families with no homes, and whales that have trouble swimming because of the waste in the ocean.
