These artworks are part of a traveling exhibition called “Washed Ashore: Art to Save the Sea”. The Washed Ashore project, led by the artist called Pozzi, works to raise attention about plastic pollution in oceans.

More than 315 billion pounds of plastic litter the world’s oceans today. Most of the plastic is rubbish from towns and cities, as well as rubbish that people leave on beaches. Rainwater, winds, and high tides bring the trash into the ocean or into rivers that lead to the ocean. Once it is under the waves（浪）, the plastic begins to break up into smaller and smaller pieces.

Thousands of sea animals die each year from eating plastic bags and other things. Each year, millions more pounds of plastic end up in the ocean. A recent study found that if that continues, by 2050 the total weight of plastic will be more than that of all the fish in the ocean.

The Washed Ashore project is working to stop that from happening. Since 2010, Washed Ashore volunteers have collected 38,000 pounds of plastic trash from more than 300 miles of beaches. They helped Pozzi create more than 60 artworks of sea creatures（生物）harmed by plastic pollution.

“These artworks are a powerful warning of our personal role and global responsibility in preserving biodiversity（生物多样性）on land and in the sea,” says Dennis Kelly, director of the National Zoo.

【推荐3】I was in line waiting to pay. A little boy in the front was buying some clothes.

I noticed that the little boy was paying mostly with change(零钱). It seemed that he had broken his pig bank to do this shopping. However, the cashier(收银员) told him he was $ 8.00 short after counting his money.

It was clear that the boy had already used all the money. The lady in front of me said, “Well, I could pay half of that.” I told the boy that I could pay the other half. We dug into our handbags. However, both of us only had ten-dollar bills(纸币). Other shoppers began digging into their pockets to find some change. It was amazing and touching as all these strangers seemed to react(反应) with the same mind. All wanted to be of help. Within minutes the cashier said, “I have too much money.” The cashier didn’t need our ten-dollar bills. Then the lady in front of me said, “Wait! I didn’t even get a chance to give anything!”

I smiled at her and said, “You did your share, because it was your idea and you started all this.” The little boy smiled and thanked us. I left with a good feeling. I saw the love and goodness of others all around me. The woman in front of me smiled and said, “It feels good to give, doesn’t it?” I smiled back and said, “Yes!”

You’re very young, and at this point in your life you can’t read. But I’ve thought a lot about the life that you have ahead of you, and I write it down to help you along your path by sharing some of the best of what I’ve learned.

Life can be unkind

There will be people in your life who won’t be very nice. They’ll laugh at you or try to hurt you because you’re different. There’s not much you can do about these people except to learn to deal with them, and learn to choose friends who are kind to you and who make you feel good about yourself. When you find friends like this, treasure them, spend time with them and love them.

Life isn’t a competition

There are many people better than you, in school, in college and at work. To them, life is a competition. But here’s the secret: life isn’t a competition. It’s a journey. Learn to enjoy the journey and make it a journey of happiness, continual improvement and love.

Love should be your rule

If there’s a word you should live your life by, it should be this: love. It might sound out of date, I know, but trust me, there’s no better rule in life. Love not only your loved ones, but your neighbors, your co-workers, strangers, and even your enemy. The person who is hard on you, unkind to you..., love him. He is most in need of your love. And most of all, love yourself and learn to love yourself for who you are.

Finally, know that I love you and always will. You are starting out on an unknown, tiring, scary, but badly wonderful journey, and always remember I will be there for you when I can.

Love,

Your dad
