Coffee spill: Thousands of coffee cans wash up in Indialantic, by J.D Gallop is an article about an abundance amount of coffee cans that were found, washed up, on a beach. These coffee cans were all sealed and were all scattered on the beach for at least a mile. The coffee most likely came from a container the fell overboard. Containers that fall overboard are actually pretty common. Many people are helping out by picking up these coffee cans everyday. There was so much coffee cans that more and more coffee cans kept reappearing on the beach.

The reason why I chose this article is because I, myself, is a coffee lover. So when I saw this articles title about huge coffee spill it automatically caught my eye.  I wanted to know more about what happened, and before reading the article I predicted that these coffee cans were washed up on shore because of a container that went overboard, I was right.

This article relates to environmental science because these containers that fall overboard are not always going to be coffee cans. And if they were, what would have happened to the ocean if these coffee cans got opened? What would have happened to the fishes? These items spilling out of containers can be very dangerous to the environment it fell in and can greatly affect it.
