Advantages: Employs people... When garbage is disposed into the water, people are hired to clean it up. Also, it makes it easier for companies to throw away their trash.

Disadvantages:

  • Garbage (example: cans/plastic) can kill animals by cutting them, suffocating them, and trapping them so they'll drown.
  • When an animal dies, their pray has less to eat, and it dies, then it's pray goes hungry and dies, and the chain continues
  • Animals we eat (example:fish) catch sicknesses which they pass to us when we eat them
  • When you drink polluted water you can get diseases like: cholera, typhiod fever, diarrhea, and hookworms
  • Seafood restaurants have to occationaly shut down due to the loss of fish because of pollution in the water, which also effects the workers (becuase they won't get their pay)
  • Water, being the most important resource in life, is being wasted because of pollution.. If we run out of water, everything on earth will die
