Hey there everybody,
I have seen on a discovery channel that the seas and oceans are becoming more acidic lately and the reason for that is that naturally water takes care of the Carbon dioxide or monoxide in the air it does this by sucking that in so that the air is more liveable and more composed of the things that we need more which is oxygen but in the process the oceans and seas are more acidic now than ever before making it an environment not suited anymore for more sensitive creatures and in time for most creatures, so please let us avoid contributing to our carbon foot print to at least minimize the problems we cause to the earth, thanks.

Hello there. I care very much for the earth, the sea and the skyline. I have traveled to many different countries in the world and have spent enjoyable times in the sea. I swam in the sea in the Seychelles and one time it began to rain. The sea water was delightfully warmed and the cool raindrops gave me a refreshing feeling. At the Great Barrier Reef I went snorkeling for the first time and I was 21 years old at that time. It was wonderful to see all the coral and the friendly fish. Now I am 39 years old I have seen that the underwater world isn't as pristine or as colorful as it used to be. I never drop garbage, always throw my rubbish away and think it is sad the ocean is becoming far more acidic. I love animals. I have snorkeled with nurse sharks and sting rays in French Polynesia, saw a fairy penguin when I was sand boarding in New Zealand and have been on a dolphin watching trip. In Belize I went to see the protected manatees.
