Lake Ontario - Daneilia Shirley
Since my family enjoyed going to Woodbine, as a child I was able to go on walks in the sand beside the shoreline with family, pick up the different shells and stones, get my tiny feet wet by sticking my feet into the water; when sticking my feet in the water I would always get cold water shocks because they water was always so cold, I would make sand castles with the sand and I also would watch the water covering my foot prints that I have created just by sampling walking near the shoreline. Then and now, I always noticed that there was always a type of plastic or garbage in the water or even simply in the sand of the beach. I realized how easy it is for a little mistake like leaving a plastic drinking cup in the sand could become something big, which could affect the body of water by all the waste getting stuck in the body of water. Human actions play a big part in how clean or dirty these bodies of water are. If humans constantly leave waste around and it ends up in the water, then in a matter of time, all the waste will start piling up over time. I feel as though if we people can own up to their actions and try to change the world by not littering and putting their garbage in the right places, like the garbage or recycling bin, then it would definitely limit the chances of the body of water getting affected/or exposed to a lot of plastic and garbage in the water
