Plastic Article

Today ill be persuading you to make a change with the way you choose to leave your rubbish. This is something you should do as it will make a change for our future and will be able to enjoy many more little things like swimming in the ocean.

Plastic pollution was first noticed in the ocean by scientists carrying out plankton studies in the late 1960s and early 1970s, and oceans and beaches still receive most of the attention of those studying and working to abate plastic pollution. We have been littering for a long time and we need to make a change before it gets worse and we kill more innocent sea animals. 

Have you ever heard of the Great Pacific Garbage Patch? This is a massive island full of rubbish that just floats in the middle of the ocean there’s so much rubbish out there that not even scientists know how much is out there. 

By littering we harm the ocean and the animals that call the ocean home, when plastic goes into the ocean, many animals mistake plastic for food. This is a problem because when they consume the plastic, the more and more they eat, just builds up and the animals eventually die, as plastic takes hundreds of years to break down. 

We need to stop littering because the sea animals/ocean produces 85% of the oxygen that we need to breathe, if we kill all the animals because we are littering that means the sea will die, then there will be no oxygen and all of us human will die.

Ways we can do to make a change are, Stop using plastic for packaging or any plastic that we use to make products, we should all start reusing things like bottle cutlery and many other things. And Shops should try to limit the plastic that they sell in packaging and toys or any other products that are made with plastic.

That’s all I have to say about this topic on rubbish, I hope I’ve made u think about changing the way you use plastic.
