plastic pollution

                         plastic pollution

Some of you may be wondering "what causes plastic pollution " , plastic pollution is caused by  plain old trash ,plastic is basically everywhere even places you don't expect it to be  for example inside some brands of chewing gum,the ocean , their is even plastic in fish , so technically we all have microplastics inside us right now.

For those who don't know it but deep in the middle of the north pacific ocean there is tons of plastic , it is known as the dirtiest ocean in the world . Most of the plastic that you leave after you had a picnic down on the beach or u had just been  swimming in a lake and u lost your sandals and all of your plastic bags just blew away and you thought they were  never going to be seen again , well they have been seen again ,by the ocean creatures and seagulls . I mean turtles and fish just think " ooh look at that yummy looking jelly fish  just floating about in the see of eternal plastic , I might just go and eat it"
well that is actually what they do but the sad thing is  it isn't even a jellyfish , it is actually a yummy plastic bag bobbing up and down in the waves, and then they swallow it only to choke and then die.

Also plastic is contributing to climate change and none of us want to be walking  around in a desert for the rest of our lives do we?With nothing to drink other than plasticy muddy  water .

But if every one all units together and starts to think that " i'm going to stop using plastic cause it is destroying our natural environment and wildlife"that wont happen and we wont be living in a desert.
To stop this from happening we need a big change not just stopping using plastic bags at your local supermarket , but to stop using plastic all together.

  1. Hi from Portugal,

    Wise words, Mia!
    We’ve just celebrated 50 years of Earth Day but there are still so many problems to solve after polluting for so long. Even with news that the decrease in travel has plummeted pollution levels highlighted with Before / After shocking photos (https://news.sky.com/story/coronavirus-before-and-after-how-lockdown-has-changed-smog-filled-skylines-11976473) it will soon be forgotten.
    The image you chose is as shocking but a sad reality and has been so for long – still very little has been done since I watched these youtube clips a couple of years ago.

  2. Hi my name is JD, I live in the state of California. And I wanted to share my thought on plastic pollution. It is absolutely terrible and humiliating that humans on our earth would just throw their trash on the Earth's soil. That is crazy that most of the plastic is in the Pacific Ocean. Do you think we will come up with a solution to this madness by 2040. Reply to me at https://afascinatingblogbyjack20.edublogs.org/wp-admin/post.php?post=109&action=edit

  3. Hello my name is JD, I live in California. That is awful that humans would do this to our Earth. By throwing trash on our very own soil. Do you think there will be a solution to this madness by 2040. Reply to me at https://afascinatingblogbyjack20.edublogs.org/wp-admin/post.php?post=109&action=edit
