The ocean, an expanse of blue water, is becoming the landfill of the Earth. Since plastic is non-biodegradable material, it risks being eaten by whales, seagulls ... At the same time, waste can return to the land and pollute beaches and other coastal areas.

Every year from 4.8 to 12.7 million tons of plastic waste ends up in the sea. The waters are also polluted by fishermen who lose their nets in the open sea or throw broken boats.

so what would we do to improve it?
for example:
- properly recycle plastic
- do not throw cigarette butts on the ground or into the sea
- limit the use of plates, cutlery and plastic cups
- organize beach cleaning

Environmental pollution means the presence of polluting elements throughout the natural environment. So it includes not only the atmosphere but also the water and the ground. These elements can be of any kind: gas, dust, but also noise and vibrations.

In recent years, the topic of environmental pollution has been dealt with frequently. It represents a degradation factor for the environment and a serious danger to health.

The consequences of atmospheric pollution are many and lead to what is called the greenhouse effect, to the acid rain, the direct consequence of which are other problems such as those related to the ozone hole.

Then there are the direct consequences that pollution has on human health on a global scale, especially as far as the negative effect of carbon monoxide. This substance can massively affect human health, causing negative side effects on the cardiovascular system, the nervous system and the respiratory system

What are the remedies for atmospheric pollution?
- First of all, in the most densely populated areas it is a matter of reducing urban circulation. The concrete measures in this sense are, for example, the traffic with alternate number plates, traffic blocks and the creation of specific areas closed to traffic. Not only that, you can replace all high-pollution and old vehicles with ecological and electric vehicles
- spread pro-environment behaviour in schools and beyond.
- prefer public transport to the car;
- heat and cool domestic environments with criteria;
- do separate collection;
