Why should you stop leaving your rubbish everywhere? You should stop leaving your rubbish everywhere because innocent animals keep eating the rubbish and then slowly die. They can also get stuck in the plastic like netting and drown. Is this something we are proud of? We need to do something NOW!
When you leave your rubbish somewhere, the wind will blow the rubbish into the drain and finally into the sea. Then a dolphin or seagull could get really sick and be in pain or even die. Plastic is NOT food so don’t just throw it on the ground. THINK!
I once saw a sea turtle stuck in a plastic drink holder. This must have happened when he was little and then when he grew he looked like a balloon with rubber bands around the middle. This is sad and should not happen because he probably can’t eat properly or go into his shell. Imagine if you were responsible for this. How would you feel?
Why is the Great Pacific Garbage Patch a threat to our environment? The Great Pacific Garbage Patch is the largest garbage deposit in the whole wide world. There is a vortex that keeps dragging it down and around. It hasn’t got smaller, only bigger over time. When a plastic bag is floating in the water some sea animals might think it is a squid and they might eat it, and then they starve to death as it fills their tummy but not with food. Some companies have tried to shrink the Patch but it just keeps growing. We have to stop littering and only that will reduce the Great Pacific Garbage Patch. Come on world, let’s work together to make this a better place for us and the creatures of the seas.
