I believe there should be laws on recycling and composting, that even communities should be put to practice a routine to make the environment a better place.It will take time, effort and money but it can be done if the laws are stricter and if everyone has at least a bit of knowledge of the negative effects.There is so many problems like littering, unnecessary trash being thrown away that cause excess damage to landfills, not recycling and even another effect that involves trash is dumping in the ocean, that is one of the most concerns that stays in my mind and never leaves. In my opinion, setting a goal will work because it will take the time and effort, then at the end people and organizations will notice change and how far they have progressed.One goal to be done is non-necessary trash being thrown away in the wrong places for extra landfill.

It is a completely disapointing problem because there is a huge amount of wildlife living there and it is damaging to see the ocean creatures suffer. Im not sure why it is done, is it because there is not enough space in landfills? Or maybe people think it wont hurt the animals and think they wouldn 't mind having cans or harmful things injuring them? People do not see it but it is a problem. Things like that can cause a beach to be unsafe to swim at. A good solution to this that can somewhat help is having life guards become more strict of what goes inside the ocean. They shall stop those that carry objects that belong in the trash and even give tickets out if witness something like dumping trash occur. Patrolling the beach is a good idea as well to help wildlife out just a bit

Trash islands, which is a result from human pollution, clutters the oceans as well as contaminates marine biology with plastic and plastic components.

    Trash in our community is a huge problem not only for us, but for the animals in our oceans. To begin, plastic toxins can enter the human food chain and drastically hurt humans and the way their bodies work. “toxins can enter the human food chain through eating seafood and can cause harmful substances to enter the body such as lead, cadmium, and mercury. These toxins are linked directly to cancers, birth defects, immune system problems, childhood developmental issues” (Andrews). Most, if not all toxins are very harmful to the human body, and if you were to consume these toxins, the chances of something going wrong is almost slim to nothing.…
