we have learned about global warming and plastic. we have written to
explain the problem and how we can solve the problem
Plastic pollution
Plastic is not biodegradable. every year millions and tons of plastic is ending up in our oceans. Sometimes the current pushes the plastic to a big gyre like a large whirlpool the rubbish gets torn up and turned into little pieces which is the worst. There are 5 giant garbage patches located at the north atlantic, south atlantic, the north pacific, the south pacific, and the indian ocean the biggest garbage patch is the north pacific garbage patch.
We shouldn't be using water bottles, plastic bags, and straws. It is also our responsibility to recycle all materials properly. There is no way of filtering out the millions of millimetre sized plastics that have ended up in our oceans. There is also plankton its growing across the oceans so you get green goo mixed with little bits of plastic.
Over the last ten years we have been producing more plastic than all of the 20th century. How do we save the pollution crisis? We should use alternatives to plastic such as paper or glass. The biggest garbage patch is 3x of france the patch contains about 1.8 trillion pieces of trash which equals 250 pieces for each human.
