Would you take your next vacation to this slimy beach? It isn't nuclear waste these people are swimming in, it's algae! And if it took over all our oceans, it would change a lot more about our lives than just how we vacation. Why could it be deadly to swim in algae? What would it do to our bodies? And how would it help us save the planet?
