The dangers of contamination... :$

We as human beings have a responsibility to take care of our planet; we should be cognizant of the consequences of our actions.  Unfortunately, most people elude this reality.  When we pollute our environment we not only sullies the aesthetic features of it, but also the living creatures that inhabit this environment.  An example of this is when people throw away plastic bottles and other garbage in beaches.  This simple act threatens the life of many living, breathing organisms that depend on the natural balance of nature.  This garbage takes about fifteen years to decompose completely.  During this time, many creatures get trapped inside this garbage and thus lose their lives.  This ultimately affects the rest of the the food chain because other animals may feed off of these organisms, and thus will have less food.  In conclusion, this reckless behavior is something that should be mitigated immediately.
