men lowering chewing gum into the ocean. This artist has other images that reflect the

expresses that in his work. It also shows and oil spill running through the body of water,

which is the focus of the artwork. The cartoonist’s stance on this image is how people

keep littering into the ocean. Over the years, more and more waste keeps ending up in

our oceans. This is causing contaminated and dirty sea water. It also affects all of the

sea creatures. Having dirty water with trash floating around can kill and harm them.

Trash islands, which is a result from human pollution, clutters the oceans as well as contaminates marine biology with plastic and plastic components.

Driving cars and the use of plastic is essential to our daily lives, but we use them without the concern for how they are affecting the habitats on Earth.

    The state of the environment in 1948 was arguably similar to the state of the environment today. Environmental concerns such as air and water pollution were, and are currently a major concern.
