Why Is Plastic Pollution A Problem For Our Coastlines?

Why is plastic pollution a problem for our coastlines?

Do you like seeing sea animals caught up in plastic every year? Well that's what will happen if we keep throwing away our plastic in the wrong places. The plastic that we throw on the streets make their way to the drain, then it leads to lakes, rivers, estuaries and the sea. If we don’t put our plastic in the rubbish it can harm many animals as they will think its food.

Did you know that over 4.8 and 12.7 million tonnes of plastic enters the ocean each year? That plastic can get tangled around the throats and stomachs of marine mammals and can harm them. 

The more people fill the ocean with plastic, the less marine animals we’ll have. The generation of sea animals will be gone and the ocean will be filled with plastic rubbish. You can help stop this by collecting all the plastic you see laying around.

Plastic makes up 90% of the pollution on the ocean's surface so don't be lazy and drop your plastic. Do you want to be swimming in plastic?

Plastic takes over 450 YEARS based on what plastic it is. Did you know that there is 26.8 million tons of plastic in landfill? We need to recycle our plastic or you'll have plastic fish and chips for dinner.

This week for writing have been writing a explanation in groups. I was working with Florence, Leroy, Ellenora and I we all worked collaborative. Our explanation was why is plastic pollution a problem for our coastlines?. In our explanation we explained everything and used language features, which were, Present tense, simple, compound, and complex sentences, and many more. This was just a warm up before we have our tests and were gonna already know what to use in our explanation. My group and I did a really good job on this explanation and gave reasons why or we should be picking up plastic rubbish. A explanation a reason why or something should be the way it is. If you don't pick up plastic rubbish would you like plastic fish and chips for dinner?
