Reflection

I’ve never seen the ocean. I’ve never gotten to experience all the wonder. I am fascinated by marine life and have always had a love for dolphins, turtles, orcas, and other animals. One day I will go to the ocean and fulfill all my dreams. I just hope that when I get there it’s not gone. Pollution has been increasing in the past few decades and it’s very alarming. Tons of animals and plants are dying or even going extinct. This makes me sad. We all have heard about oil pollution and plastic pollution, but I was curious about the other suggested topics on the website. I found several of them very interesting, including nuclear waste and acidification. However, the one that affected me the most was noise pollution. I have a weak heart for all animals, so learning that noise pollution affects them so greatly, makes me not only sad, but extremely angry. There is no one, no animal or human being, that deserves to be treated like this. Something like this shouldn’t be allowed. I grew very passionate and after a few articles I was hooked. I was like, “People need to be informed. This needs to stop. I’m going to make a film about this. I can make the change.”
