How can humans stop marine pollution? |
[Edit] |
. The best way to stop marine polution is to educate the people as to the cause and effects of pollution. What ever goes down the drain will eventually go into the water. Everything that goes into the ground has to eventually make its way to the water because the earth is porous. its like a big sponge. What doesn't evaporate soaks in. What does evaporate eventually comes down with the rain. Acid rain is where chemicals and pollutants are released into the sky and when it rains, down it comes onto the mountains, into the streams, into the rivers and into the oceans. The only way to not pollute is to contain the pollutants. Since this is not totally possible we have to learn how to properly discard what we throw away. Also the oils from cars and machinery that leaks onto the roads stays on the roadway until it rains. Then it washes into the creeks, rivers and storm sewers and eventually winds up in the oceans. There are many precautions put into place to help keep this from happening and every day there are more being used, but we have to keep trying. The next time you wash your car, see where the soapy water goes. It doesn't just disapear.
