Our class discussed in groups, what we can do to help with this problem.
1. Turn your extra trash into something useful, like a DIY project.
2. Gather plastics off the beaches. Melt them down to create new things.
3. Carry a plastic bag when we walk somewhere and pick up any trash you see.

Here were our takeaways from the Documentary:

-plastic breaks down into tiny pieces, that animals think are food
-Very surprised that there is 8 million metric tons a year of plastic in our waterways
-I will stop using straws-for turtles and all animals
-billions of straws end up in landfills
-plastic takes centuries to decompose, making it a big threat
-we can use plants like Max to create straws instead
-I thought the gold straws were cool
-I loved what Max is doing to help animals
-plastic that is being put in the ocean is constantly killing animals
-it is so sad to see that much plastic in the ocean
-such a simple concept, yet a huge impact on our environment
