Dear reader, When I arrived at Moanna Beach on Fantasia Island last month. I was staggered to discover that what the news talked about was true. Plastic bottles of mineral water, cans of cola drinks, snack plastic wrappers, worn-out shoes and sandals, and whatever waste you can find in a garbage bin covered the sand at Moana Beach. Andrew Nichols, a friend of mine, took me to the other part on Moana Beach, where 53 local volunteers were removing garbage littered on the beach in sacks. They collected them by hand. However, as soon as the beach was cleaned, the waves rushes to the shore, depositing yet another litter of plastic garbage. In my opinion, plastic should not be dumped into the ocean. Once you throw the plastic waste into the ocean, it decomposes very slowly, breaking into small pieces known as microplastics. When they enter the marine food chain, they wreak havoc on sea life. Some turtles were found dead on Moana Beach last year as they ate plastic bags they mistook for jellyfish. These marine animals were choked to death by plastic waste found in their throats. This is terrible stuff done by beach visitors! As individuals, we can also help reduce the plastic waste by using reusable water bottles and paper bags instead of plastic bags when we have picnics on the beach. As for the Fantasian government, they should ban the use of plastic bags as they have a negative impact on human health and the environment. The text can be generally found in ……

Professor Brunner from Ula University has debunked the hearsay that extreme sportsmen and women are adrenaline junkies with a death wish. According to professor Brunner, there has been a misunderstanding regarding the motivation of extreme sportsmen and women to participate in extreme sports. Extreme sports athletes are highly skilled individuals who have a complete understanding of themselves, the activity, the nature, and its surroundings, according to studies. Most of the time they engage in the activity to improve their quality of life. The sensation is difficult to put into words. Take for example, bungge jumpers claim as they soar over 300km/ hour, they can see all the hues and crevices of the rocks. Rock climbers, say that they enjoy a floating, dancing sensation with the rocks. Extreme sports, in fact, promote more positive mental experiences and express human values. They learn how to be humble, harmonious, creative, religious, and create a very important sense of self.
