Plastic in our Oceans

Pollution in our oceans has become a large problem over the last few    years. People have been littering more and most of the litter gets washed into the water. For instance, Henderson island which is basically in the middle of nowhere, is covered in trash that got washed up from the ocean.

Boyan Slat a twenty-year-old is trying together rid of floating plastic from the oceans. He started a foundation called The Ocean Cleanup. 10% of all thrown out plastic ends up in the ocean. The plastic gets eaten by animals who die because of it. People are dying because of it.

  1. Hi Penguin, I think that we often focus on the animals, but Artemis is right, ultimately people do suffer. Remember the pictures I showed you from some other countries, where people are drinking and washing in extremely polluted water. Also, we eat the fish from our oceans.
