Climate Change

I am happy to support a variety of animal & plant habitats
My oxygen content is high and I have a healthy alkalinity level
I provide humans with many essential nutrients such as calcium, magnesium, sodium and potassium
Oh look! People are coming to visit and admire my natural beauty!
Heavy metals and hydrocarbons are polluting my waters
Concrete washing is causing my alkalinity levels to rise. Such a high pH level is incredibly dangerous to the ecosystems that I support
15 % of oil that contaminates the ocean every year comes from ship spills
These oil leaks are contaminating my waters and killing my marine life. All of the fish are gone
At least 14 million tons of plastic and debris is dumped into me each year
I wish people could see that they must protect me with the same rights that they protect themselves with!
Two-thirds of the world’s population will face water shortages by 2025 due to pollution driven climate change
Oh no! These toxins and acid rain are making my water toxic. Humans need me to survive and yet they are slowly killing me!
