Reflection

Ocean pollution is a major problem today. We have constantly put it aside, ignoring its existence. And because of that, now we face a bigger and worse problem than before. But we must act, before it's too late. Personally, I am very tied to nature and I feel it is our duty to stand up and fight for it. Obviously, as a student, I cannot stop pollution; I cannot stand there and make a decision to ensure its elimination. I can, however, spread awareness throughout my community, change the way other people and myself think and act. And possibly, that is the best, strongest way forward.
