With the annual beach report, it has shown that this beach is full of trash, hard to swim and overall mistreated. This shows how Venice beach might be considered a wealthy neighborhood but the environment is trashed by the same people living near and the visitors. Now, we will analyze why we pollute and explore the possibilities of hypothetically not polluting our beaches. For example, by taking care of our beaches early on, and by having a more constructive/caring mindset of what to do with our waste, we will further be able to prevent humans, as well as marine wildlife from being negatively affected by our arrogance and harmful nature. What is viewed at face value as being non-important (littering, etc.) deeply affects other organisms in a much grander scheme. Therefore, think I we should make a difference in a world that we are living on, and save species in the ocean from
