CASTIEL LIKES TO BOOP

[magicastrology]

let’s discuss something that i haven’t seen much around tumblr lately.

i suppose those who don’t live nearby the ocean don’t recognize the issue of ocean pollution and the lives it has an effect on (including ours). underneath our oceans, which covers the majority of our planet, is a huge problem. so, of course, i am here to educate you with some facts you may not have known.

640,000 tons of fishing gear is lost in our oceans every single year, which combined, weighs more than the Titanic. [x]

many of the plastics used in fishing gear are very durable. some are expected to last in our oceans for 600 years. [x]

136,000 sea mammals become entangled and trapped in nets and lines every year, and that’s not including fish. being trapped in the nets for a long period of time can cause the sea mammals to drown, or unable to find food. they can also become entangled in these nets, and accidentally choke, cut, or injure themselves. [x]

plastic is the most common element found in the ocean and is often confused as food by marine animals. so many animals are dying due to choking, intestinal blockage, and starvation. it’s also very harmful to our environment as it does not break down easily. [x]

plastic debris can absorb toxic chemicals from ocean pollution, therefore poisoning whatever eats it. In fact, plastic pollution is one of the most serious threats to the ocean. plastic does not degrade; instead, it breaks down into progressively smaller pieces, but never disappears. they then attract more debris.  it poses a significant health threat to the various sea creatures, and to the entire marine ecosystem. overall, plastic is the number one source of pollution in the ocean. [x]

small animals at the bottom of food chain absorb the chemicals as part of their food. these small animals are then eaten by larger animals that again increases the concentration of chemicals. animals at the top of hierarchy of food chain have contamination levels millions times higher than the water in which they live. [x]

oil and chemicals from local industries can leak and seep through the soil and eventually enter ocean currents.

there are more than 400 known dead zones worldwide, where there are low oxygen concentrations due to no life in that area. this is usually because of pollution.

at Puget Sound in Washington, a dead gray whale was washed up on the shore. it had been in good health, but inside of it’s body was about 20 plastic bags, surgical gloves, plastic pieces, a pair of sweat pants, a golf ball, and other things we discard into our oceans. this has happened on several occasions. [x]

how it affects us:

honestly, after reading the facts above, and you still need a reason to care, then continue reading.

people get contaminated easily by eating contaminated seafood that can cause serious health problems, from cancer to damage to immune system.

pollution also has huge costs for taxpayers and local governments that must clean this trash off of beaches and streets to protect public health. the national resources defense council analyzed a survey of 95 California communities and found their total reported annual costs for preventing litter from becoming pollution is $428 million per year. [x]

um???? unclean water, obviously??

how to help:

advocate and tell global leaders to cooperate on fresh water

donate to organizations such as WWF, Blue Voice, World Animal Protection, and Ocean Conservancy

symbolically “adopt” an animal

pick up trash when you go to the beach to prevent it from going into the ocean

reblog this post and spread the information

these poor creatures can’t fend for themselves, so we have to try and be their voice. together we can clean our oceans and help the sea mammals and fish who are affected by pollution.

I’m hugging my mother when she gets home.

I forgot to turn on the oven.

I’m a problem child and I’m almost 20.

w i t c h e s  : modern healers (or white witch)

Young girls with strong magic and the will of the good thrumming through their veins. Healers, or white witches, use their powers with the best of intentions. Herbs, potions, and remedies litter their desks and clutter their shelves. They spend their days tending their herb gardens, crafting flower crowns imbued with kind thoughts, brewing love potions and pain stoppers, and piecing jewelry to bring luck. There is no room for darkness in their hearts, only love and happiness.

[momma-rose]

when your child comes to you and says “this is something that makes me uncomfortable and unhappy and makes me not want to spend time with you” and you respond with a 20 minute speech that boils down to “deal with it because life sucks” you have no respect for your child and you need to change your parenting tactics

[momma-rose]

i made this a month ago and the worst thing about it is that so many people can relate

[eyeswydeopen]

Ok so if the child doesn't want to shower and doesn't want to wear a sweater, you just do whatever he/she wants and let them have their way?? Do you have children?? How do you suppose you handle that?

It’s about time but can we just talk about how beautiful this looks? Also congrats to all of those who fought for this!

Talk about a house becoming “relentlessly gay…”

[eyeswydeopen]

No one wins anything without help from family and friends who steer you away from bad ideas and toward good ones. Because every time anyone accomplishes anything, He or She achieves it with the help of a thousand silent heroes. The selfless teamplayers who offer their support, not to be recognized, but because it's the right thing to do.
