Reflection

Penguin populations have decreased significantly over the past 50 years, and humans mostly caused this. We are the ones that cause water pollution and global warming. We throw our bottles and trash onto the floor, in the gutter, on the beach, etc. and that leads to pollution in the water. My drawing represents the plastic bottles that ended up in the icebergs, the effect trash has on our ocean, and climate change reducing the ice caps. We could do a lot to help change this situation drastically, but we aren’t. If we were the penguins, what would we be feeling? To help save the penguins, let's stop throwing trash in the ocean.
