Oceans ( Earth Day Movie )

I think "Oceans" is a great Earth Day movie that tells the importance of the ocean and what we are doing to destroy it. Fish, turtles, whales, sharks, and other sea animals show the beauty of the ocean that we don't get to see very often because it is rare in the deep, vast ocean. These sea animals don't disturb you if you don't disturb them. You don't need to feed them food or trash or anything else that will harm them because they find the right food for themselves and they wouldn't even try to harm you.
When I came to the part when there was trash in the ocean as well as a shopping cart and there was fish eating the trash and fish who were finding shelter in the cart, I was worried for these fish because people out there are making them die. The ocean shouldn't be a dump just like how your room shouldn't be a place to throw candy wrappers and empty soda bottles, but people seem not to care and realize how animals are living not just in the ocean, but also in rain forests, riverbeds, and every place else.
Just like how we have our own life, the fish have theirs. Just like how we go to the grocery store to buy dinner, the fish fight amongst themselves for theirs. Octopuses come out of their dark home looking for fish to strangle and when there is a predator around, the octopus changes color to camouflage to the surrounding atmosphere to prevent its predator from snacking on it. We don't need to feed any ocean animal our trash just let them kill each other for their own dinner because it is their jobs to do so.
When you look at the ocean, think of the animals there because we are considered to support them rather than killing them for no specific reason, whether it is a single coral reef or whether it is a humpback whale, we shouldn't litter the ocean because one single person that does litter the ocean, kills millions of animals.
