Geocache Description:

This is a simple P&G cache. Good luck.


We use water for everything: food, leisure, industry, and activities, but if we continue polluting our water we will no longer be able to enjoy our lakes and rivers. Do you remember when you were younger and you could go swimming, boating, and even fishing without seeing a single piece of garbage? Before we started polluting our rivers and throwing garbage in our lakes the water was crystal clear and there was no garbage to be seen. Nowadays just walking past lakes and rivers you see garbage floating along the sides of banks. Don't you wish you could show your kids what the water looked like when you were younger and take them swimming in the same crystal clear lake you swam in?

Fishing, boating, canoeing, rafting, and surfing are all activities that we enjoy but without clean water we couldn't do. Would you actually want to swim in a lake with garbage floating by your side? Do you want to go sight seeing or on a cruise when all you see in the water is garbage and all you can smell is the pollution from factories? Surely, you would agree this needs to stop!

When you pollute the water you're not only contaminating our drinking water but you're also contaminating the homes of animals and sea creatures. In my opinion, when you throw garbage into the water, you're throwing garbage into someone's home. It is certain that you would not want to live in garbage, so how do you think the animals feel?

Oil spills are the worst type of pollution. If a boat were to break down and begin leaking oil it will not get cleaned up. The oil will stay in the water killing all of the animals and sea creatures that come in contact with the oil. Oil spills are very deadly, therefore it is a good thing that they don't happen very often.

Scientists have proven that the pollution in our lakes and rivers has risen over the last three years. For this reason, we need to do our part to keep our water clean. Some believe that just one person alone can not make a difference. However, just by picking up one piece of garbage and throwing your own garbage in a trash can this will make a huge difference. It is your responsibility to keep our water ways clean.
