The earth is facing a lot of environmental problems today, these problems are
caused by humans. In the search for the technology, humans begin to improve
their lives without giving attention to what this development has caused to the
other types of life on the face of the earth. All aspects of life on the earth
have been affected, as well as the sources of water. Sea and river pollution is
one of the problems that resulted from the new technology, and humans should
solve very fast to save our planet. Water is one of the most important sources
of life in the earth a lot of animals live in seas, rivers and lakes. In
addition water in also important for humans, not just for drinking, seas are one
of our main sources of food today, for example fish. Sea pollution has become
one of the biggest problems facing our environment. This pollution which is
caused by the oil tankers or the oil spills could cause serious damage to the
lives of many kinds of creatures that live in the sea. People were happy when
the oil was first discovered. For them it was a new source of energy that would
help to made life a lot easier, no one ever thought that oil could cause so much
damage, but it became clear when oil tankers began to dump oil in to the sea.
The oil which was dumped into the sea for different reasons, could case a lot of
damage to the life in that sea, for example a thick spot of oil could cover the
surface of the sea and causes screening of the sun rays from the sea. That
screening can case the death of many of the sea creatures, because most of the
sea creatures depend on the sun for their lives. A lot of beaches are destroyed
because of the oil spots, too. The oil spot finally ends up on the beach. A lot
of birds that live on the beach will face death because they lost their source
of food. People will be affected too. A lot of fish will die so there will be no
fishing. In some countries where they depend on sea water for drinking, they are
going to have problems purifying. Rivers were facing the same problem too. The
chemicals that have been used in manufacturing should not be dumped in lakes or
rivers, because of the animals that live in these rivers and lakes. In some
countries they polluted some of their big lakes because of the big factories
that were built beside them in order to throw the waste of chemicals on these
lakes, and the result was big loss of natural life. However, it is a big
problem, we still can not stop it from happening, but we can reduce it by
enforcing stronger laws to stop these oil tankers and these factories from
dumping oil and waste-water in to the seas and rivers. Our environment is
important to us, so we should take care of it.
