Overfishing a result of unresonable human activity

Protection of Marine environments have been neglected

Over the years the human activity overexploited all resources knowned on earth untill some rules and sanctions were installed. This prevented most human from abusing of it's ecosystem except in one types of ecosystem. Indeed we have neglected all marine ecocystem because they are almost impossible to control because of it's immense size. It is impossible to make sure that everyone respect all marine environements whether it be fishermen catching endangered species or just boat emptying all their sewage in the sea. Even though the oceans do not take a important part in our everyday life it controls the entire earth ecosytem, one small change in the oceans will have a result of actions that will finally affect us directly.

Two main threats, one common problem

The two main threats to oceans are a result of uncontrolled human activity. Pollution and overfishing of certain species have some dramatic effect on the ocean. Eventhough we do not see a direct impact on us it will eventually affect us at some point. We are currently destroying entire ecosystem that took thousands of year to build, all of that for the personal benefice of some human being. Sewage treatment factories are an important expense in someone budget this is why some people will throw all their dumps and chemicals directly in the ocean thinking it will have no impact compared to the oceans' surface. Indeed those two uncontrolled activities are driven by greed and do not care about the earth health for future generation. This behavior has to stop in order of putting ourself and the human kind and an other species in danger

Legalization: Yes we can



In this video we feel the injustice of many good American citizens that lost their job for smoking marijuana innocently. We can see that they are good citizens and not gangster as many people would think by the fact that they are willing to pay taxes on it and help to rebuild a strong state economy. The fact that people from all ages, all social classes are affected by this injustice makes this video more credible. It illustrates perfectly how most people that do not smoke consider all smokers to be criminals but as we seen in this video smokers are normal people and they don't deserve to be punished for their actions.

From prohibition to legalization

From my personal experience, i have seen that it is almost impossible to prevent someone from doing something that feels right. This why I think prohibition is not the solution to any problem, especially to drug use. A real life example of this, is the fact that France is the number one marijuana smokers in Europe yet it is one of the country where the drug laws are the most strict. On the other hand we have the Netherlands that opted for depenalizing marijuana and sell it legally in small quantities that actually have less marijuana smokers than in France. This is why their should be a change of tactics for the war against drugs. The Danger of drugs is not the drug itself but it's fear.
