Our heads are underwater, struggling to breathe while we drown ourselves and drag everything down with us Americans alone use more than 500 million drinking straws daily. That could easily fill more than 125 school buses. If you look at your own plastics footprint, one of the easiest ways is to decline the straw. Spread awareness... ___ My Entry for the PlanetOrPlastic Contest of National Geographic PassionByMorning

My name is Athena, and I have a home by the sea. I'm a diver. Mostly as a hobby, in a way. I'm chasing a creature; a monster so terrifying it haunts my every dream. I've been following its trail, but it always eludes me. It always returns to the vast arms of the sea, leaving nothing but destruction in its wake. Somehow, it escapes me. Not this time. This time, I know I'll find it. This time, it's coming to me. =============================================== This is a short story for the #PlanetorPlastic writing contest hosted by National Geographic! I hope you enjoy!

A twelve-year-old girl dreams of scuba diving.

Hello, world... This is my letter to you...

Could bacteria be the key to save the environment from plastic pollution?

#PlanetOrPlastic Here's an ode to our glorious oceans that are now reduced to pools of plastic. Getting reads on this or being chosen for the contest is the last of my worries. This matter. Ok byeeeee let me know how you think it went. Never written anything like this.

When Lyander found his treasure in the desolate waste he called home, he could think only of his love, Mia, and how much she would adore its purity. Little did he know it would end not only their love, but their lives.

Claire Evans (24), a young herpetologist who specialized in snakes, she traveled all around the world in order to find and study all kinds of snakes including new species.

In this story we have the fam in their natural habitat. Planna, Mangle, Angel, Rattle, Sweetie, Sam, Skylar, Andy, Mango, and Diamond. They are all different species but they tend to get along quite well. But sometimes, the fam fights. This pack isn't held together very well, but it stays together with the alpha, Planna. This story shows the life of the fam, and how the relationships of the pack began.

What if, faced with the dilemma of planet or plastic, humankind chooses wrong? Entry for the #PlanetOrPlastic Writing Contest.

A story for national geographic.

Eco-friendly suggestion.

2001, Michael Irwin (24) and his colleagues were traveling around the world in order to find and document new species of snakes.

Gia Ramirez (25), a herpetologist from Tucsion, Arizona, who travels around the world in order to find and photograph new species of snake which is not yet being described or being sicovered.

3 days. 72 hours. 4320 minutes. 259200 seconds. That's the lifespan of the species with the second shortest average time living. They spend there whole lives in horrible pollution of which 80% is from human waste. Such insignificant lives. Living in what is not an insignificant marine world. What to do to make their 3-day lives not so insignificant? We make an Ocean of change. A ripple of knowledge. #PlanetorPlastic 500 word story inspired by what our ocean world is, and what it needs to be. Fight against single used plastics

When everything you once knew about the world changed rapidly, who are we to blame? This story is my entry for a contest in Wattpad called "Planet Or Plastic Writing Contest".

Silence isn't always golden. _____________________ This is my official submission to National Geographic's #planetorplastic contest.

~My submission for the #PlanetOrPlastic challenge by National Geographic. Hats off to National Geographic for taking the first stand against plastic pollution. A glimpse into the daily lives of creatures under the sea from the creatures points of view. How does what we do affect them? Are the happy in their lives? What do they think of us humans? This story tells my thoughts on the fore mentioned questions, and raises a few of its own, the main one being, Should we continue what we have been doing even after knowing how it affects sea life? This is an answer only you can give. So think on it while reading the story.
