ocean each year.

MORE THAN 18,000 LAKES IN SWEDEN HAVE BEEN ACIDIZED TO THE POINT WERE FISH ARE ENDANGER OR IF NOT ELIMINATED

MORE THAN A BILLION PEOPLE ALMOST 1/5 OF THE WORLDS POPULATION LACK ACCESS TO SAFE DRINKING WATER

IF WE KEEP ON POLLUTING OUR WATER THEN WE WONT HAVE ANY TO DRINK.

garbage patch is 2

times bigger than the

united states.

90 percent of the world waste is in the ocean.

80 PERCENT OF THE TRASH COMES FROM LAND BASE AND 20 PERCENT FROM SHIPS.

Made up of footballs lego blocks and carrier bags.

GALLONS WAS SPILLED INTO THE

SEA ON APRIL 20 2010 IN MEXICO.

WATER. AND MAKE SURE!!!! NOT TO

PUT CHEMICALS IN THE SINK CAUSE
