Water is a very major contribution to our survival. Without water the human race would’ve died many years ago. When water is polluted, it affects us greatly, although it may not seem like it. Not only does water pollution affect humans, it affects sea creatures as well. Just a small piece of plastic can cause so much damage to a sea creature. For example: a turtle can get stuck on it, or a fish can eat it. This can hurt these animals as well as maybe even killing them. When we pollute, we do not think of all the affects that can happen. When you throw something into the water, or it gets washed up, you don’t know what chemicals are in that trash. This can make the water deadly and infected, making it inhabitable for animals and not edible for people to drink.
