On Monday, August 25th, the newspaper "The Straits Times" reported that more Singaporeans are choosing to scatter the ashes of the dead into the sea. This practise have been practised by the Hindus such as the Kandiahs for a long time. I believe that we should not scatter ashes into the sea as the ashes would pollute the sea. To me, it is the same concept as throwing rubbish into the sea. Many would claim it is different but think of it, is it a different thing to throw equally harmful things into the sea? Maybe people would say that rubbish are harmful like plastic bags because they are much bigger but ashes are so tiny that the fishes cannot possibly get entangled with it like with plastic bags. However, you can try this experiment: take some chili powder and scatter some into a glass of water. You will realise that the water would soon turn red. So since ashes are black and everybody start to scatter the ashes into the sea, the sea would soon turn black and murky. For the marine life, won't their lifes become dirty and polluted. Would us, humans, like to live in a bouse filled with litter? For the coral reefs though, they might suffer the most as they normally stay at on place, unable to move around like other animals living in the sea. If the water around them becomes polluted, the oxygen around them would also get affected, and unlike fishes who might swim away to get to places not very polluted, the coral reefs would die easily from breathing in the polluted air, just like us, humans, might die from breathing in polluted gas.
