First of all, good morning to all the Steemit community.
I apologize for this type of content that I do not have scheduled for midweek, but today I saw a news that broke my heart and it is about the 300 whale bodies that were found in New Zealand.
It hurts me even more to know that this news is not even new, it's been more than 5 months and I did not even know it, because the media are hardly interested in this kind of thing, because the majority of people ignore that and seems to be a normal event.
I felt the same as when I heard about the 29 whale bodies that were found in the North Sea in March 2016 and no, that's not normal. But no, those poor animals did not die from natural causes or from a strange phenomenon, no, they died because of us, in all of their stomachs the forensics found plastic that caused their death. I know it is difficult to accept, but we must admit that we are hurting the place where we live and it's because OUR irresponsibility, we are hurting pure creatures who are not guilty of what we do.
This has to stop, we must improve our habits, stop dumping plastic and recycle more, every little detail counts and we have to raise awareness, we must be better people.

Use and dump syndrome, no proper environmental protection policy implementation in place.

How heartbreaking, I agree with you we need to be responsible of our planet. And considerate of these wild creatures who depend on their environment. I know personally that I recycle and even the plastic rings around six packs I make sure to cut each one to make sure that no turtles or animals get stuck in them if they should end up somewhere they shouldn't belong.

It is really embarrassing that the state can not solve this catastrophe, it generates many biological imbalances at ocean levels
