Earth Day: Dive Against Debris

The oceans will soon have more plastic detritus than fish. It’s a shame that humans don’t take this thing, pollution, that happens to our Earth and sea more seriously.

On the 22th of April 2018, Earth day, we organized a clean-up in the HMS Maori diving site. Around twenty people came to take part in this clean-up and everyone was happy to do something great for the Earth and the local area in which they live. They got ready and directly jumped in to the water to fight against the growing sea pollution problem.

It took us only one hour to pull out over 53 kilograms of marine debris from the water, it shows how much people don’t care about nature. We made an inventory of all the trash taken out from the sea, there was plenty of glass bottles, plastic bottles and fragments of plastic, metal and cloth.

We’re on a good way with the clean-up to start things getting better and better. Let’s do this more often to protect our environment. We need to be careful of our planet because we can’t live without it and all the resources it has!
