Ocean Pollution Over half of sea turtles have ingested an outrageous amount of plastic and lots of them have even died from the marine pollution that's getting put into the ocean. A lot of animals are getting killed/injured by ocean pollution and its not just litter that's harming them. Many chemicals can also be released from runoff or even marine mammal carcasses. One of the animals that is getting harmed by the litter is sea turtles. A large amount of sea turtles are getting killed by eating…
where the can't go a few steps to throw their rubbish away and leave it for it to get blown away into the water affecting marine life. Ocean pollution has many causes that can be fixed for example, sewage systems flowing to the ocean, oil spills, littering, and land runoffs but most of the solutions don't work. There are some solutions that are working like, Fishing for Energy and Plastic Pollution Institution but its working slowly. Ocean pollution can damage the reproductive system of…
around us. Picking up trash would also teach the students that littering is a very bad thing. Some of the students may learn and not litter again, and they may want to do it more than once a day. Picking up the litter would benefit everyone. The trash would be gone, which would make for safer environment, it would make the county look better, wildlife wouldn’t be affected as bad, and it would make the students and parents learn that littering is a bad thing. There is tons of trash everywhere…
environment clean, waste free. Our continuous efforts have already helped greatly impact the clutter about our world. If we continue with recycling, cleaning, and contributing with the issue of litter, we can create an even more eco-friendly environment. Littering not only hurts ourselves, but others as well. First we must address the issue together.…
citizens. Frank Trippett’s claim is true because even breaking minor laws can make a lot of consequences. Most people who happen to break a minor law think they are doing no harm and can carry on about their day. Some people do not even think that littering is a law or going 10 over the speed limits counts as a ticket. However, when walking and drop a piece of trash is…
I was going to change the world. That was the goal I set out upon when starting out my action project. I knew that it was supposed to be a small project, but I thought I could change Missoula in just fifteen hours. After numerous attempts to get in contact with organizations that could have a broad, long term impact on the community, I decided to simply pick up trash from a local park. This job wasn 't glamorous or exciting and it wasn 't going to change the way people looked at recycling and…
Deep sea mining is a fairly new issue within the scientific community only being utilized in mineral collecting for the past two decades (Theil). Although this action is fairly new, it still can have devastating effects on ecosystems, especially the seafloor. “Because of the high demand for minerals and metals for making technological items, this new way of mining has gathered a lot of attention in the last five years. Three forms of deep-sea mineral resources have been considered thus far for…
Would you want your child to be dehydrated during the school day? Taking water bottles out of the classrooms at school would prevent children having water nearby. If the children don’t drink enough water per day, this could leave to health issues. We need to keep water bottles in the classrooms to keep the children healthy, happy, and safe. Water bottles are a necessity for life. If our bodies do not consume enough water, we can potentially become dehydrated. Dehydration in children can…

avoid the disapproval and social sanction of the group. They function to provide clarity in a situation where behaviour may be new or ambiguous. There is some evidence to suggest that social norms can be used to affect negative behaviours, such as littering. What are they? Social norms have been demonstrated affecting human behaviour systematically and powerfully (Cialdini et al., 1991). Social norms are viewed by some as the “glue” of human societies, and it has been noted that social norms are…
