Scientists make shocking discovery of 'dead zones' where nothing can live on two US coasts. Dead zones develop when “excess nutrients” from cities and farms drain —”runoff” — into the water, decaying algae and eventually making the area uninhabitable for most marine life.

Why do you think we need to add fertilizer to the soil? The nutrients have been farmed up from the soil into plants or livestock. People eat those nutrients and then deposit them into the sewers that empty into the rivers that empty into the oceans. Mining nutrients from the oceans would help, maybe in the form of algae.

one environmental issue has to do with BEES.. those buzzy buzzy flying insects that POLLENATE our flowered friends and help nature to make fruit(i think), well, the bees are becoming ill and sick..

the bees have begun to lose the proper functioning of their internal COMPASS, so instead of doing what bees normally do they just kinda fly around in circles and they dont actually get much done and the result is that we NOT GONNA HAVE FRUIT PRETTY SOON.

one day we will learn that every living thing in the ocean is dying.

Every living thing everywhere is dying and always has been.

Living things start out doing the opposite of dying, and only begin 'dying' as senescence sets in.

But everything living is dying. Just like Red says. Well, not exactly like Red says, but you get the point. Get busy.

Everything living is experiencing senescence? That doesn't sound correct.

Technically you are correct.

That is the premise of Soylent Green.
