Our Oceans and how it Impacts the Welfare of Marine Life
The distribution of Plastic debris and toxic/general waste has a majorly detrimental effect on the marine species of the Deep Blue. Over last decades it has been a severely chronic issue, most specifically towards the health of sea mammals, turtles (or testudines), fish, sea birds, sharks etc., to the point where it has got to the extreme situation of massive decreases in numbers of a lot of fish due to lack awareness of people when eating takeaway meals, or food resources and supplies from the supermarkets.
Most of what we don’t think about using is discarded in inappropriate and careless ways, which is putting multiple sea and marine life at risk of survival. This has been advertised worldwide to inform individuals in our dysfunctional society that the wasted money spent, is distributed into plastic bags and then dumped in the trash, which is one of the major reasons why Australia has rather excessive landfill rates.
In the ABC program “War on Wastes Stories “, Series 1 Eps 2,the host expresses that the expenses associated with packaging and overconsumption year after year are adding up and impacting on our economy, leading towards it going into overdrive. People are purchasing items and not using them for their original purpose, instead theyare frequently hoarding more and more items, which is leading to more fatalities of our sea and marine life. Therefore Woolworths are trying to encourage consumers to use recyclable bags and put the REDUCE, REUSE, RECYCLE into practice and to reduce the effect of littering near the ocean floor, by using different environmental strategies to turn the leaf on saving the marine life for conservational purposes.
