Water Pollution needs a solution

Let's explore the beauty under the sea.

According to NASA, Earth consist of 71% liquid or water and 29% continents and islands. To break it down, it contains 96.5% more oceans as salt water than 3.5% of fresh water. In the ocean a lot of undiscovered species are living, according to scientist 91% of ocean species are not yet classified. However, the water pollution continues to arise that may result to destruction of their homes. Here in the Philippines, one of the most underrated issue is the water pollution. People lack knowledge of how important our ocean, seas and river, and they only realize how much they destroyed it when the nature, itself made them see it by natural disasters and arising health diseases.

Now you see under the sea

“Anyone who can solve he problems of water will be worthy of two Nobel prizes – one for peace and one for science."– John F. Kennedy.

This project will be called “Now you see under the sea”, one or more representative of each household will be needing in this project. They will be taught of the different ways of waste management such as having 3 garbage bins in their household to avoid throwing garbage in the river and knowing the different effects of improper hygiene to the health and environment. Lastly, they will be joining the clean ups near the river where they are living.
