The+situation

===Our world is contaminated, there is rubbish everywhere, the fish are diying, the plants are diying, we are contaminating. Don´t you people realize what is happening?? It is serious, it is a very important issue, we need to do something about it. There are several WEB pages, T.V shows and newspaper adverts, saying that our world is going to finish in 2012, we personally don´t believe it, but we do think that in some years, if we don´t accept responsibility, OUR WORLD IS GOING TO FINISH. DO YOU REALLY WANT THIS FOR OUR PLANET? === ===The rubbish can also affect our health, and the animal's health, so because of this, many animals can extinct. there are also some other problems which are the greenhouse effect, the pollution,the climate change, and many other problems. The risk of health problems in people living near garbage places has increased. This means there has been an impact coming from the contamination, in the growth of children b **etween 0 and 3 years of age.** === ===**There have been various fires caused near garbage places, and they are usually caused because, after the garbage is in one place, people burn it, and then because of the warm air and the heat, some grass or trees start to burn and fires are caused. And everything is OUR FAULT. **===

=== In the pacific ocean, there is a zone called the GARBAGE ISLAND, it is called like that because there are a lot of tiny pieces of floating garbage. A big percentage of the floating garbage is plastic, and the problem with it is that it doesn't biodegrades, it photo degrades. So if there were big pieces of plastic, they will broke down by sunlight into smaller pieces, but the plastic doesn't disintegrate, it still remains plastic. All the rubbish that we are throwing to the sea, is eaten by jellyfish, big and small fish, and more, but the problem doesn't stay like this, it continues, because we are eating this creatures so that means we are eating our own rubbish. This is causing diabetes, and many other mayor health problems in the last 30 years. A very impresive issue is that is thet the plastic chemicals are affecting the reproductive system. In Japan there was a research which showed that the women with high consumption of this creatures, are same ones that haven't been able to have a successful pregnancy. Investigations have confirmed that 80% of this garbage is coming from land. The worst thing about this hole theme is that there is no quick fix, because it is our hole society. ===

=== Garbage is also a problem to plants. It can affect them by not leting them get enough sunlight, this can happen because the garbage forms pills, that don't let the plants catch the sunlight they need. The garbage also prevents plants from reciving water, because the garbage gather in the rivers, or where ever the plants are reciving the water, and doesn't let them recive it. And because of this, they are getting dirty and could die. Another problem that the plants need to face, is the little air they recive. Since the rubbish is contaminating all the air, they don't have much opportunities to breath. === === As we mentioned before, there is a big zone in the pacific ocean, full with floating garbage. This is making animals die, because they think it is food and they eat it like the little turtle you see in the pictures above, but what they think is food, realy is garbage so it can intoxicate them, or get stuck in their throat and don't letting them inhale or exhale.There is another problem, because the small fish eat the garbage and then the bigger fish eat them and intoxicate too All this animals are in extinction because of us, we are the ones that throw the rubbish and don't care a about, obviously because we are not those creatures, but that doesn't matter, we need to take care of them, they are part of this world and they are dying. ===
