It is so worrying how between California and Hawaii there is a plastic island, which is three size the times of France! It is growing as well.
It is made up of bottles, containers, fishing nets and micro-particles which harm animals. It is swirling in the water, killing animals who meet it.Scientists have said it weighs more than 500 planes put together. Another scary thing, is that, a bit of plastic which was pulled from the ocean was 40 years old! So, we know that plastic takes ages to break down, and we are poisoning our water and ourselves.
Sea-food lover? You’ll be eating about 11,000 pieces of micro-plastic a year. I don’t want to have any more children until the problems in our world are solved. Why should I bring any children into this world where the water’s dirty and we are eating plastic and destroying the sea-life of our world.
Every insect, every fish and every animal is an important and crucial part of the eco-system. Do you know what the only part of our eco-system which isn’t necessary is? HUMANS. Let’s eliminate ourselves, as we aren’t crucial for the eco-system, and in fact, we are destroying it ourselves.
