Pollution & the effects.
How is plastic pollution affecting everything?
Plastic pollution has been around for a long time and it's getting worse than ever! Its killing wildlife,ruining the ocean and its also no good for ourselves, plastic is non biodegradable,It lasts almost forever but it can break down.Its worse than you think, Single use plastic bags sneak to the ocean very easily,Turtles and other wildlife mistake it for food and eat it which kills them,When a plastic bag breaks down fish go ahead and gobble that up and we love eating our wildlife so technically half the time we have fish for lunch no doubt we ate a bit of plastic.Beaches around the globe have been forced to be closed down due to plastic.We could easily increase use of plastic,simple actions such as using reusable straws, bags, bottles and alternatively using glass instead of plastic.
