Water pollution affects life in our oceans, lakes and rivers. Dead fish are found on the shore as a result. This is fish that could be feeding people, but we are killing it. Even in our recreation we pollute. Boating pollutes the water.
People dump their waste in the water.
Our beaches are covered with trash that is left behind from people having fun in the sun. Campers and backpackers go into the mountains and leave a trail of trash and waste behind them. Animals are killed everyday because of pollution. We need to stop being self-centered and think about future generations. They would like to have fresh air to breathe, too.
