Plastic and its effect on the ocean.
The ocean gives us lots of things: food, water, medicines, oxygen and lots more! If plastic continues to pollute the ocean we may not have those things. Sadly plastic is the death of many ocean inhabitants. We have the power to stop all of that! Did you know that it takes 10-20 years for a plastic bag to break down and 450 years for a plastic bottle to do so!
Microplastic is just tiny pieces of plastic but is as dangerous as real plastic. It is made when pieces of plastic are broken down. Throw a plastic bottle into the sea and it's there forever! It'll never disappear it'll just break down into microplastic! There are more pieces of microplastic in the ocean than the amount of stars in the Universe! If we do not stop now there'll be more plastic and micro plastic in the ocean than fish! NO MORE PLASTIC PACKAGING! |
