I was heartbroken after witnessing the terrible scene in Greece. We humans must admit having brought great damage to the ocean. I regret to see the struggle and miserable life of those innocent creatures. If they could speak, they would immediately yell at us that they were in the depths of despair.
We should reflect on/upon what we have done to them. If we couldn’t avoid using plastics, we should manage to offer a better solution. I suggest making joint efforts: scientists should endeavour to research how to reuse the ocean trash while the government should be determined to introduce regulations to cut down the usage of plastic bags. Most importantly, everyone is expected to take action and promises to make a difference by doing small things that can make us responsible members of the planet.
