We singlehandedly created this mess, so now its up to us to clean it up. All of us. What if a group of humans, or animals decided that they needed more oxygen, and caused us slow, long, and painfull deaths, and there was nothing we could do about it, we didn't do anything. They just decided they were more important. I don't think that's fare. Why should they suffer because we are selfish and not careful? Here are some pics.

I think we all know that we can all do more to help the environment. The problem is, once we throw away our trash, we don't give it a second thought. We don't as our selves Did I remember to cut up the plastic straws , and soda packs? What are the trash companies doing to help prevent garbage from spreading to the ocean? 
On to the posatives! Our own contra costa county put a tax on plastic bags! Baltimore has 2 trash professors! More states and citys are following California , and are putting a tax on plastic bags! 
Some of my own ideas include, adding more trash professors, putting basket ball hoops over trash cans, to make it fun, and encouraging art students , and all students to find creative ways to clean up the existing trash, but also finding creative ways to use trash. I bet you didn't know that some new futuristic fashion ideas include using the soda popers on Aluminium soda cans to make flashy purses, and dresses. All kids of things can be made from used things, spoon lampshades, cut water bottle boats, and painted plastic bag flags. EVERYTHING can be reused at least once. Please comment!

And it matters to both my community and the world because we all have a part in why the plastic trash island exists and the pollution could end up affecting everyone if we're not careful. A solution I found is biodegradable plastic. The benefits of this is that it's made of all plant material and it also doesn't release carbon or methane into the air when it is melted down to be recycled. This could help with the garbage patch issue because the plastic would either biodegrade before it gets to the sea, or biodegrade in the sea. http://www.pepctplastics.com/resources/connecticut-plastics-learning-center/biodegradable-plastics/]]> 2018-01-05 04:57:26 UTC https://padlet.com/vobenchain/8wsuipgt6lm5/wish/218885083 https://padlet.com/vobenchain/8wsuipgt6lm5/wish/218971155 Because the cuality of sea food lowers so it is worse to eat. It matters to my community because there will be less and less sea food that is good for you. The same thing I wrote write up there. Make a sun powered elitric boat that makes the water clean.

I think we need to set up teams to clean the beaches. Also, in the news this morning, there was an article explaining that container ships produce more pollution than the entire world's cars. This includes air pollution as well as tons of trash collecting in the ocean. We need to find a way to make the containers more secure on the ships so they don't fall off and release trash. Let's stop this. scroobeedoobeedoo.]]> 2018-01-05 19:08:10 UTC https://padlet.com/vobenchain/8wsuipgt6lm5/wish/219017913 https://padlet.com/vobenchain/8wsuipgt6lm5/wish/219018074 This matters to the community because the plastic will release too many toxins that will kill the plants underwater that make 70 percent of our oxygen so we're all going to suffocate and die a slow and painful death. :(]]> 2018-01-05 19:08:55 UTC https://padlet.com/vobenchain/8wsuipgt6lm5/wish/219018074 https://padlet.com/vobenchain/8wsuipgt6lm5/wish/219018675 I think this matters because sea animals are losing lives because of us humans and its terrible for the envirenment, I think we should throw are garbage away where it is supposed to go (trash can)

The animals are eating the trash and it harms them a lot. We should start with cleaning the beach and bringing our own bags to store so we don't use plasic bags. We can also reuse contaners and throw away trash in trash cans.

It matters to my community because everything will cost more because of costs rising. People will have a hard time. It matters to the world for the previous reasons I listed: people will become homeless, animals will die, causing costs to rise, and also, something I didn't mention, sea travel will become difficult.

A solution is for everybody to put trash in the correct bins. We also need to pick up trash and not throw garbage on the ground.]]> 2018-01-05 19:52:37 UTC https://padlet.com/vobenchain/8wsuipgt6lm5/wish/219028247 https://padlet.com/vobenchain/8wsuipgt6lm5/wish/219191889 I think this is a big issue because what we are doing is going to effect all the other generations to come and that's not right so we should put stuff into the trash where it should be.]]> 2018-01-07 20:31:30 UTC https://padlet.com/vobenchain/8wsuipgt6lm5/wish/219191889 vobenchain https://padlet.com/vobenchain/8wsuipgt6lm5/wish/219484080 https://www.newsdeeply.com/oceans/articles/2017/11/01/strawless-in-seattle-how-one-city-is-tackling-ocean-plastic-pcollution]]> 2018-01-08 18:25:27 UTC https://padlet.com/vobenchain/8wsuipgt6lm5/wish/219484080 vobenchain https://padlet.com/vobenchain/8wsuipgt6lm5/wish/219484547 http://www.scmp.com/news/hong-kong/health-environment/article/2116318/hong-kong-throws-away-52-million-bottles-every
