Ocean pollution - Social studies

 In social studies we have been learning about littering and ocean pollution. We had to write a news article/just write down imformation in a way people can understand.

Plastic pollution

Plastic has been around since about 1950 and since then plastic has been getting in our oceans. Ever since then the ocean has had more and more plastic in the ocean which is not the best for lives in the sea. The animals don´t get that plastic is not food and they eat it like normal. The bad thing with that is that the plastic does not go down like normla food and stays in their stomach until it kills them. One animal that is really affected by this is dolphins. Because every single time they go up to the top of the ocean for air, they clean out all the Phytoplankton from the ocean and gives us oxygen to breath. But since the plastic is killing our sea life whive also includes dolphins this stop this cycle. 

But there is something we can do, we can srart by putting stuff in the bind in gdeneral. Another step is that you can put your rubbish in the right bins eg, the red, green and yellow bins. So everything does not get taken to the dump where theres a chance it can blow away to the ocean.

When we get that down we can stop using as much plastic as we do right now, or if we do use plastic we cna use reusable and not one use plastic. If we all do our part we can save the ocean and animals.
