What is Plastic Pollution??

Plastic pollution is the build up of plastic objects including plastic bottles, plastic utensils and etc. Because of plastic that ends up in the sea/ocean get eaten up by the marine animals. micro plastic smells like food to fish so they end up swallowing it in California and Indonesia ¼ of the fish is plastic and we end up eating the plastic that the fish has consumed.

Something that I can do for the plastic free July challenge which me and my friend Jedida are in a challenge where we cannot bring plastic to school, also since both of us don’t really use plastic utensils that is something we are avoiding. Since plastic is the most affordable item/object in the world there are many of them.

The biggest garbage patch is called the great pacific garbage patch or also known as GPGP, Gpgp sits in the eastern pacific ocean between California and Hawaii. You can help with the plastic pollution by trying the plastic free July challenge yourself, you can reduce your use of single use plastics or you can just stop using plastic. you can also go down to the beach with a rubbish bag and pick up some pieces of rubbish that is floating in the sea and also that are just laying on the sand. So would you like to give going plastic free a try??
