 are in here recent studies have now proven that the oceans cover nearly 71% of our earth used to be a vibrant shade of blue and much of the freshwater was clear enough to drink saltwater and freshwater wildlife flourished in the good quality of the oceans ponds and rivers however to my great sadness that I must report that in this year of 2081 the vast oceans that used to be so intensely blue are now filled with trash and blackened with oil they are nearly unrecognizable on fire the freshwater ecosystems that used to be the home of countless creatures are nearly deprived of all life and microscopic organisms are the only survivors it's shocking how much has changed I can't even believe the stories I've heard about ocean animals why is our ocean like this it's not because of one person or even one country slowly but surely more and more people start littering and more oil spills occur and eventually it ends up like this but for those of you listening in 2020 don't despair yet there's still hope to rescue our planet's water before it becomes too late so what can you do to help keep our oceans lakes and rivers beautiful maybe take a day at a local beach to clean up the trash on the stand or in the water check for waste collecting around your storm drain and clear it off conserve your water usage make sure you alert someone if you smell a gas leak don't pour chemicals or trash into any body of water and remember storm drains are not for trash or unwanted liquids they most likely lead to a nearby body of water lastly vote for government officials who will enforce strong environmental regulations if you follow these tips you will certainly increase the health of the earth's water for future generations such as mine are in out
