I learned that the problem with plastic is that it can take up to a century just for it to decompose in landfills. If it ends up in the ocean, it can hurt sea creatures.

# data[].attributes.body
I learned that plastic can be useful, but when thrown away incorrectly it can hurt the environment. Also, I learned that plastic was made in the early 1900ś hundreds. Only 9 percent of plastic gets thrown away. A couple of six graders got their hole town to stop using plastic so it can stop hurting the environment. I think  everyone (in the world) should make a law to not use plastic anymore even though that plastic is useful, it hurts the environment.

# data[].attributes.body
I learned that it takes almost a century or more for just 1 plastic bottle to get decomposed.

# data[].attributes.body
I LEAREND THAT PLASTIC WAS INVENTED IN THE 1950'S

# data[].attributes.body
I leared that over 20,000 pounds of plastic isthrown away every year and its really bad for the eviroment animals in the sea can get get stuck or choke on it.

# data[].attributes.body
I learned that plastic was not a thing for some time but then it became popular and many people used it because it was helpful. But what they didn’t know was that they were hurting many Animals because so much of it is thrown away and it ends up interfering with marine life. Another thing I learned was that if an animal swallows plastic it can effect the food chain so for example a sea creature swallows some plastic and then you eat the animal you would get sick. the last thing I learned is that people should reuse the plastic and try to create something new. In general you should try to avoid using plastic all the time. we can make a DIFFERENCE!

Plastic is useful to use but not good for the environment . also only 9 percent of plastic gets recycled. I also learned that   plastic was made in the 1900 hundreds.

I learned that plastic is a helpful tool, because you can use it for water bottles, garbage bags, etc, but it is also bad for the planet because in the article they said last year a Sperm Whalewashed ashore a beach and the scientists found out that the whale had eaten 64 POUNDS of trash.
Here's a fact sometimes My family and I drive by a HUGE hill that has a baseball diamond on top of it. Then my parents told me that it used to be a dumpster but then they just grew some grass on it and called it a landfill.

# data[].attributes.body
1: I learned that 9% of plastic gets recycled.
2: I learned that a sperm whale washed ashore in Spain with 64 pounds of plastic in it and a plastic drum.
3: A bunch of six graders got there hole town to stop using plastic.

# data[].attributes.body
I learned that humans use more than 20,000 pounds of plastic, and that only 9% of the plastic in the world gets recycled, and most of it ends up in landfills, and none of this is good. So I am going to try my hardest to not use plastic in everyday life situations.

# data[].attributes.body
that their is 20,00 pounds of plastic is thrown away

# data[].attributes.body
I learned that plastic was made in the early 1900s. I also learned that it would take centuries for plastic to decompose or break down. I learned that there is now fewer animal species in the ocean because of plastic. The wind and rain takes all the plastic to the ocean. Only 9% of the plastic gets recycled and the rest goes to landfills.

# data[].attributes.body
I learned that while you are reading one quick sentence 20,000 pounds of plastic is being thrown away. And that when plastic is recycled, only 9 percent of is actually recycled and the rest of it could be blowing around in streets, down water drains and underground in landforms. Recycling plastic can take centuries to break down. All of this plastic being thrown away is really sad and unreasonable. There really needs to be a change in this problem.

# data[].attributes.body
1. I learned that by the time it takes to read this sentence 20,000  pounds of trash has just been dumped into a landfill.
2. I  also learned that most plastic household items weren't invented until 1950
3. Finally I learned only 9% of plastic is recycled. The rest ends up in a landfill

# data[].attributes.body
I learnd plastic as we know it was invented in the early 1900s.

# data[].attributes.body
i learned that only 9 percent of plastic gets recycled I also learned that it takes so so long for plastic to break down.

# data[].attributes.body
I learned that 9% of plastic gets recycled. Most of the plastic ends up in landfills under millions more plastic peices.

# data[].attributes.body
1. I learned that 9% of plastic gets recycled Most of the rest ends up in landfills, where it’s buried under layers of dirt.
2. A sperm whale was washed ashore in Spain. Scientists found that it had eaten 64 pounds of plastic trash!!!!
3. a group of six graders convinced everyone in the town to stop using plastic.

# data[].attributes.body
I learned that it could take centuries for plastic to decompose or break down. I also learned that only 9% of the plastic we through away gets recycled, And the rest go to landfills, ocean and on the ground everywhere. When the plastic goes to the ocean it harms animals in the ocean. A dead sperm whale washed up on shore in Spain.Scientists found out that it had eaten 64 pounds of plastic trash.

# data[].attributes.body
I learned that only 9% of plastic is being recycled the rest is just being littered all around but what made me sad is that a sperm whale died and scientist found out it ate 64 pounds of plastic!

# data[].attributes.body
I learned that it is not always a good thing to throw away plastic because it can harm marine animals. I learned that 9% of plastic is recycled.

# data[].attributes.body
I learned that whatever you throw away that is plastic into the trash, it can take up to four
years to dispose.

# data[].attributes.body
1. 9% of the plastic got recycled.

2.Plastic in the ocean got broken down into microplastics, and it still effect animals.

3.6th graders convinced town officials to ban plastic bags, put recycling bins to all the school in town.

# data[].attributes.body
I learned that only 9 percent of the plastic actually gets recycled and the rest goes to landfills, I used to think that all plastic get recycled.

# data[].attributes.body
I learned only about 9 percent of plastic gets recycled. Most of the rest ends up in landfills, where it’s buried under layers of dirt.

# data[].attributes.body
I learned that only 9 percent of plastic in recycled and when it is not recycled it goes to a landfill and will break down after a long long time.

# data[].attributes.body
I learned that when plastic breaks down into small pieces it's called microplastics. I thought that more people recycle but I turns on that they just litter.

# data[].attributes.body
I learned that you should use as little plastic as possible and if you do use plastic try to reuse it. another thing I learned is that a Sperm Whale was found dead on a shore and had 65 pounds of plastic inside of it.

# data[].attributes.body
1. Wind and rain is bringing the recycling stuff into places like rivers that lead to the ocean!
2. Only 9% of the plastic in the world is recycled!
3. It takes CENTURIES for recycling waste to break down
4. Humans started to make large amounts of plastic things in the 1950s
5. Plastic isn't just bad because it kills an animal or two animals but that animal might kill another animal because that other animal might be a predator to the other animal that ate plastic and then then the predator gets sick

# data[].attributes.body
I learned that you should be careful of what you throw out and I also learned "it doesn’t take an entire city or a big company to make a difference." Kids can make a difference too and I will try to watch how much plastic I use and  hope you will too.

1. it ending up in the ocean and killing the animals
2. 40 percent of plastic is only meant to be used ones wich mean that that it is only killing more animals
3. 9 percent of plastic is recycled

1: Only 9% of the plastic in the world is recycled!
2: Plastic that is not through away gets carried by the rain and down sewer pipes and then gets carried to the ocean.
3: the plastic that ends up in the ocean effects animals in the ocean.

1: Humans started to make large amounts of plastic things in the 1950s
2: Only 9% of our plastic is recycled.
