Have you been to the beach and seen any plastic? This is going to be a big problem if we keep on littering.
There is over 800,000 pieces of plastic in the ocean. You can’t get rid of plastic because if you try to burn plastic it will make toxic gases. Three billion people rely on the ocean as their food support. Plastic trash can last almost forever and it can go across the world. When plastic makes its way into our ocean the currents carry it all around the world.
Plastic is destroying our earth because it is starting to kill animals making them extinct. Plastic also kills nature. It is so sad to see animals dying from eating plastic this is why i wanted you you how plastic is destroying our earth.

Did you know that nearly every piece of plastic ever made still exists. There are 400,000 or more pieces of plastic in the water.
The animals die because they eat and digest the plastic and get sick or die. Every kind of plastic is waterproof and floats around the earth. If you throw a piece of plastic on the ground it could end up in our food chain.
Plastic is destroying our earth each minute. You need to know this because plastic is bad for us and the animals around us. What we can do to stop this happening is to refuse, reduce, reuse or recycle.

If you saw a piece of plastic on the ground would you pick it up or just leave it? This is not a common question, but today i will be talking about some issues about plastic.
One of the most damaging effects of plastic is that animals die and we are polluting the earth. 100,000 animals die because of plastic. Animals ingest something called micro-plastic which are pieces of plastic that are broken down from decades. Also, Nano-plastics are micro-plastics that are broken down even smaller. These can enter fish body cells and affect their survival skills, reproduction and immunity. Because of this the sea animals can become extinct!
Plastic was invented in 1950. Plastic is still around and it is getting even worse. We use 250 million tonnes of rubbish each year. Our tremendous attraction to plastic isn’t getting better. The plastic rubbish that was made in 1950 are still around because it takes 500 years for it to break down. If we don’t stop just imagine how much rubbish would be on our earth in 2050. There are not many ways we can fix it because if we burn it toxic gases are made.
We NEED to find a way to stop it. Humans are destroying earth and that is not ok. So remember, refuse, recycle and reuse.

Have you ever seen a beach with no plastic on it? Plastic is taking over the world.
A plastic bottle turns into micro-plastic and micro-plastic turns into nano-plastic and fish eat it.
One piece of plastic takes 500 years to break down that is why plastic is bad for our world.
By Joni Buckley
It is not just sea animals it is also birds eating plastic. I will tell you why.
Plastic goes in the ocean and the wind pushes it and it is moved round by the ocean waves. The sea animals eat the plastic because it does not break down because it is not biodegradable.
Plastic is everywhere. We sit on it, we play with it and use it everyday. Then when we are finished with it we just throw it away.
I think it was important you know this because then there will be no more animals if we don’t stop putting plastic in the ocean.
