I believe that we can make a difference in the world’s environment and especially the coral reefs, if we all make an effort to. Everyday we do things to convenience our lives, but because of this we ruin our beautiful planet. Instead of throwing a piece of plastic onto the ground, we need to pick it up and recycle it. We need to start making small changes in our lifestyle and be more mindful so our planet can continue to thrive. I think it is the least we can do after causing so much harm to our planet. We as humans need to try our best to change Earth’s tragic future before it is too late.
