Thesis:
Once upon a time, in a world surrounded by vast and mysterious oceans, a serious problem began to emerge. This problem was called "marine plastic pollution." The beautiful waters that were home to colorful fish, graceful dolphins, and ancient turtles were now threatened by the harmful effects of plastic waste.

Argument 1:

The Rise of Plastic Pollution:
In recent years, the use of plastic products has increased dramatically. While plastic can be convenient, its improper disposal has led to a crisis in our oceans. Plastic items like bags, bottles, and straws end up in the water, where they harm marine life and ecosystems.

Argument 2:

Impact on Marine Life:
Sea creatures, from tiny plankton to majestic whales, are facing a tough challenge. They mistake plastic for food and end up eating it. This causes harm to their health and even leads to their deaths. Imagine a sea turtle mistaking a plastic bag for a jellyfish – a tragic mistake that could be avoided.

Argument 3:

Threats to Our Own Well-being:

Did you know that the plastic problem in the oceans can affect humans too? As plastics break down into tiny pieces called microplastics, they find their way into the fish we eat and the water we drink. This means that we could unknowingly consume these harmful particles, which can impact our health.
