WATER POLLUTION

Over a billion people don't have access to clean water.

Swimmers are greatly impacted by the pollutants.

Oil slick sticks to plants, birds, fish, etc.

Each year 2,000,000 seabirds and 100,000 marine mammals die due to litter.

SOLUTIONS

• Make people aware of the issue
• Make a larger investment to the issue
• Dilute water so it is not as harmful
