What is water pollution? Did you know there are different kinds of pollution? In this video, you and your kids will learn all about the ways that water is harmed and contaminated. You will also learn how we can help make water cleaner and safer for the wildlife that live there. Even though we, ourselves, need clean water for drinking and other uses, aquatic animals that live in oceans and lakes need clean water as well to survive. Would you rather swim in a lake that is clear and blue or one that is filled with plastic bottles and bags, waste, and chemicals? Naturally, you would want to swim in a clean lake. Well, so do fish and other animals in the sea. Water pollution is caused by many different factors, but the primary one is humans. For many, many years, we have been throwing our “trash“ in the ocean. Sometimes our trash is made up of actual garbage, such as plastic water bottles and grocery bags, soda can holders, and straws. Other times, it's made up of sewage and waste, chemicals, and oils. What can you do to help the water pollution problem? First of all, you can share some of the facts you learn in this video with your friends and family. For instance, did you know that over one billion people do not have access to clean water? That is 13% of the world's population! You can also follow the three R's: reduce, reuse, and recycle. Reduce your water usage, reuse items whenever possible, and recycle any items that you can.
