Brink: Pollution Destroys Ocean: video

This video described how the industrial revolution has caused a decline in coral reefs and an increase in the acidity of our oceans. The increase in organic chemicals come from the increase in factory produced fumes. These fumes affect many clams and shells within the coral reefs because it deprives them of calcium. Just like humans,calcium is needed to form strong bones. In extreme cases, the acidity of the waters cause deterioration of the shells and clams,which may eventually lead to extinction.

There are many ways to pitch in and help the cause. Use less water while brushing teeth and taking showers. Also contribute in local beach clean ups. In the end this is everyone's problem,so everyone should support and help the cause.
