I chose to make a river because I believe that more people should be informed of the damage they are causing to the oceans. By dumping our trash into the rivers in the city we are polluting the ocean. I added cigarette butts on my project because that is one of the things you find most in the rivers. This should concern us a great deal because we are feeding our sea life trash, and then we eat the animals. We need to find better trash cans or just simply educate the next generation to be a little more careful with their choices.
