We as a whole have a duty to protect our home, and by that I’m not referring to our meager homes in which we come to after a long day at work. I’m not even referring to the United States as our home right now, I’m referring to the home which houses billions of humans, animals, species, and plants; the earth. Over the past century humans have been finding ways to industrially expand and grow economically, and accomplished it at the expense of our earth. The butterfly effect is an active adjunct of life; it could not only lead to an imbalance in the ecosystem but an imbalance within society. From the pollutants in the air, to the increase in acidic pH levels, can eventually lead to starvation in certain regions who depend on seafood as means for sustenance. Aside from ocean acidification, the pollutants in the air pose health risks. Pollutants and an acidic ocean aren’t the last of our worries, apparently there’s deposits of trash in the ocean, millions of tons of trash just floating around. An interesting note, those countries that have shown an economic growth have also shown an exponential growth in the amount of waste they contribute to our oceans. We have traded the wellbeing of our earth in exchange for wealth, self-prosperity, and temporary comfort. I propose that we start making a change here, in the United States, by imposing regulations on the amount of daily miles driven, to reduce the amount of emissions that are released into our atmosphere via vehicles. The younger generation are our future so I propose that we also establish a government …show more content…
The correlation between atmospheric conditions and our oceans. The garbage patches of waste in our oceans due to the exponential economic growth of certain countries. The acidification of our oceans and its impact within the ecosystem as well as on humans. How we as a whole can do something to change all of that and if not stop it, at least slow it
