Clean the ocean with Mickey's Family

We are ruining some of the places we like the most: the beach and the oceans. This is something serious! Probably we are not concerned about this problem, but we are killing ocean species and their environments. If we keep throwing garbage, in some years or even months we will not be able to go to the beach and swim in the ocean!

Garbage and wastes in the ocean are a huge problem in my country and all around the world, and one of its main causes is people’s laziness.

Usually, people think garbage is something casual to see around us, but we are wrong. We think it’s normal because we have made it seem normal. We’re always surrounded by trash, which has resulted in the creation of groups of people that organize cleanups to pick the

trash. However, there are many wastes, which makes it difficult to pick all the garbage from all the ocean and beaches.

​

Nonetheless, if we are green leaders we can't stay only telling the problems, the important part of an ecofriendly person is to take action and find solutions.

In my solution, I am going to focus on kids, so then if this solution works with them, they will kind of teach their parents how can we solve this problem together.

We all know that kids love animated figures, so in this case I will use the Mickey Mouse family.

Mickey's family will be dressed up with beach clothes, so each day on the beach they will teach some lessons to the kids around.

Mickey's family has prepared special activities and games for the kids to teach them with animated figures that they shouldn’t throw garbage neither to the ocean nor to the beaches.

As you can see this is simple, but solutions that we can apply to solve environment-related issues start with small actions that can then become a huge impact. Before finishing, remember that tomorrow is the future, and we have to understand that we can't wait until the problem has no solution. We must take action from the beginning or even when the situation hasn’t started.
