How Do We Stop Water Trash?

Here is web link with a video which is of the pacific garbage patch. []

Responsibility: What is our responsibility? How? Why?

How do we stop water trash? Where?

We can stop water trash by picking up litter on the beach and by just not littering at all. We can help water trash by not using up so much materials because they go into a landfill and some of the trash from the landfills already go into the water. If a really bad storm happens lots of trash from the landfill will go into the water.

INFO Trash and plastic debris pollution is a serious problem in the Bay and its creeks, suffocating our wetlands and threatening our wildlife. Unfortunately, the problem isn’t just local: trash from the Bay eventually flows out into the ocean, joining a three million ton mass of plastic floating debris known as the Great Pacific Garbage Patch. People are lazy and throw trash off a boat into the ocean. In Hong Kong, the water is really polluted. I wish that the government will start to help the poor waters. I know that it is hard, but the citizens must help too. I didn't polluted anything, and so did many people, but there are some people that still do. I wish they won't pollute any more. Listen up readers! If you did something that is related to pollution, beware of being caught by the cops! You will be fined of $2,5000 and be in prison for six months, so yeah, it's up to you!

Sea Water for Flushing: An interesting facet of the waterworks is the sea water supply systems with their separate networks of distribution mains, pumping stations and service reservoirs. In 2009/10, an average of about 745 000 cubic metres of sea water was supplied each day.

People are just dumping trash into the water which causes water pollution. If you throw trash onto a beach it goes into the water which also causes water pollution. Modern fishing practices are incredibly wasteful. Every year, fishing nets kill up to 300,000 whales, dolphins and porpoises globally. Entanglement is the greatest threat to the survival of many species. Moreover, some fishing practices destroy habitat as well as inhabitants. Bottom trawling, for example, destroys entire ancient deep-sea coral forests and other delicate ecosystems. In some areas it is the equivalent of ploughing a field several times a year.

People are throwing trash into the water which ruins coral and lots of other things that belong in the water. From Ocean Park.

Ecovision is proud to announce that, in 2009, over 150 teams comprising more than 6,500 participants joined our efforts in Hong Kong. We are delighted by the enthusiasm the Hong Kong community has shown for the Coastal Cleanup, and ready to ride this wave of momentum toward our 10th anniversary event kicking off on September 25th, 2010. Stay tuned! http://www.ecovisionasia.com/hkcoastalcleanup/

Although it covers more than 70 percent of the surface of the Earth, water is one of the most precious natural resources of our planet. The reason being that about 97 percent of it is salty, and therefore undrinkable, a further 2 percent is locked in glaciers and polar ice caps, thus leaving just about 1 percent of it useful for drinking and cooking. Apart from clean drinking water, we also need to keep the waters in the oceans, rivers, and lakes unpolluted because otherwise it harms the very planet we survive on. With human populations increasing rapidly it has resulted in us polluting all the water resources of our planet, so much so, precious and unique organisms and ecosystems are being harmed and are even dying at an alarming rate. http://www.buzzle.com/articles/ways-to-prevent-water-pollution.html

Understanding the causes and consequences of water pollution can help you picture the seriousness of this issue to a great extent. In the following writeup, we will stress on its effects on the ecosystem and human health to understand why it is a serious threat for us.http://www.buzzle.com/articles/water-pollution/
