My family was excited and couldn’t wait to leave. My mom woke us up at about three in the morning the day we left. We threw our suitcases into the back of the truck and began…

to adulthood because of the pollution. Water pollution is not only affecting birds. About 3.5 million pieces of new plastic enter the world's ocean daily, which increases the danger to marine life. Plastics such as plastic bags can be mistaken as jellyfish which loggerhead sea turtles love. Microplastics can block the sunlight from reaching plankton and algae which are very important…

shows that the octopus can think, plan and reason. Therefore, some may assume that the octopus is conscious. In the chapter “Other Minds” of WDIAM 3, Nagel states, many people believe that things that are not human such as: fish, insects, worms, and jellyfish are not conscious.

They belong to three groups called phytoplankton, zooplankton, and bacterioplankton. Plankton are a significant food source for blue whales, shrimp and jelly fish. Bioluminescent plankton belong to phytoplankton which use sunlight to make its own food, and zooplankton which feeds on phytoplankton and other small organisms.…

The flipper dolphin is getting tangled in litter. Lots more animals are dying. Now what can I do? I can do many things. I…
