Reflection

Ever since I was a little kid, I enjoyed going outside, looking at stars, and going to the beach. As I grew older, my passion for nature grew, but so did the amount of pollution on Earth. It made me dismal, knowing that I would never be able to see Earth as I had before. A while ago, while watching a YouTube video about ocean pollution, I had a sudden urge to inform others and to do something to help. I wanted to let others know that because of our selfish actions as humans, Earth's beautiful coral reefs are dying. Overfishing, pollution, and climate change are all things that harm coral reefs. I want to show that even if there is nothing left of our ocean, there is still hope if we work hard together for many years. Our ocean won't get better by itself. Since we made the damage, we also need to help rejuvenate it. The power to make Earth a better environment is in our hands.
