Both macroplastic items, such as bags, bottles, and other packaging, and products containing micro- and nanoplastic particles-from cosmetics to paints-contaminate the Earth's ecosystems.

Plastics enter the environment from many sources such as accidental losses during waste collection and from landfills, general littering, runoffs, and losses from waste processing. Micro- and nanoplastic particles can also be shed from larger products, such as through abrasion of car tires on the pavement. Some 80 percent of microplastics in wastewater are synthetic fibers, many of which are shed by clothing in the washing machine. Some microplastics (and, likely, nanoplastics, though no studies have attempted to detect such particles) pass into rivers and oceans unhindered by wastewater treatment. Those particles that are captured eventually find their way onto land as part of sewage sludge.

Information:

Usually we dump leftover food in with the rest of our garbage and it goes off to the landfills. Landfills cause soil, air and water pollution, affect local wildlife and their habitats, and release harmful methane gases into the atmosphere. Unlike other kinds of garbage, organic materials (including vegetables, fruits and grains) are not doomed to such a wasteful fate—they can be composted and reused in the soil to fertilize other plants. Of course eliminating unnecessary food waste is the best option, but for any food that is not eaten, composting is the best way to use this “waste.”

1. Once all students have completely answered the questions (or as you discuss the answers together), facilitate a discussion with the class, allowing students a chance to share their thoughts and ideas about the poem.

2. Ask students if they would consider starting their own compost pile, either at school or home, and encourage them to do more research on the topic and share what they learn with family and friends.
