We add another 8 million tons each year.      ]]> 2020-02-12 18:11:45 UTC https://padlet.com/272599/7smk7bewllhq/wish/444534861 Facts 272599 https://padlet.com/272599/7smk7bewllhq/wish/445264439
  • the animals swallowing straws are 70% seabird and 30% turtle
  • plastic is causing disease to coral reefs which is one of the main sources of oxygen under the sea.
  • plastic releases carbon dioxide into the air when it is  incinerated, which means destroyed.

  • incinerating plastic releases carbon dioxide, which is a greenhouse gas.When a greenhouse gas hits the ozone layer it reflects  the suns heat, causing it to to bounce around the earth and over heat the earth.
  • This is climate change, it melts ice planks which is destroying habitats for animals, heating the ocean, and raising the ocean level.
  • Many beaches have closed due to plastic washing up on shore and ruining the beach ego system. Plastic is also killing the animals that live ashore.

Too complex?Try simply recycling, reducing,or reusing. Recycling is the answer to many things it takes as much time as throwing trash.WARNING, all products must be cleaned to be recycled, and some recycling companies dont except certain products.]]> 2020-02-14 14:51:58 UTC https://padlet.com/272599/7smk7bewllhq/wish/445609934 Quotes 272599 https://padlet.com/272599/7smk7bewllhq/wish/445653308 "Banning straws may confer 'moral license' – allowing companies and their customers to feel they have done their part. The crucial challenge is to ensure that these bans are just a first step."
