https://padlet.com/lisa_msuya/cux39bcknt8r Post a reflection to Padlet with your take-a-ways from the bioplastics unit and discuss our responsibility to reduce plastic consumption. en-us 2017-05-01 19:57:46 UTC 2025-12-08 14:36:40 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet.com/lisa_msuya/cux39bcknt8r/wish/172609937 Bpa(a harmful chemical) is in baby bottles.
Less then 7% of people recycle plastic. The state government in Australia are spending more then two million dollars a year picking up litter. 80~90%of earth destruction is destroyed by plastic waste. Bpa's spread into the ground causing animals and insects to die. Floating plastics can survive more then a thousand of years in the water.]]> 2017-05-18 15:19:11 UTC https://padlet.com/lisa_msuya/cux39bcknt8r/wish/172609937 leigh_bellville https://padlet.com/lisa_msuya/cux39bcknt8r/wish/172610039 2017-05-18 15:19:27 UTC https://padlet.com/lisa_msuya/cux39bcknt8r/wish/172610039 https://padlet.com/lisa_msuya/cux39bcknt8r/wish/172615977 Plastic uses oil and oil is a nonrenewable resource. The oil is used a lot and is almost gone. the plastics are mistaken as prey to predators.]]> 2017-05-18 15:38:03 UTC https://padlet.com/lisa_msuya/cux39bcknt8r/wish/172615977 https://padlet.com/lisa_msuya/cux39bcknt8r/wish/172617245 Today I learned that plastics need to be recycled because our world is not invincible and that it hurts animals alot. And that plastic is mistaken as food. Plastics, if burned they can hurt our  thyroid glands which is very bad. Animals are very stupid when it comes to plastic I don't know why they eat plastic but what ever. Plastics can also cause chemical reactions with these different plastics. Millions of dollars are used each year due to picking up litter just to have it thrown on the ground again!!]]> 2017-05-18 15:40:26 UTC https://padlet.com/lisa_msuya/cux39bcknt8r/wish/172617245 https://padlet.com/lisa_msuya/cux39bcknt8r/wish/172617495 Plastics can harm and even kill animals.Plastic is slowly killing  the earth aswell.Burned plastic cuases harm to humans.]]> 2017-05-18 15:40:55 UTC https://padlet.com/lisa_msuya/cux39bcknt8r/wish/172617495 https://padlet.com/lisa_msuya/cux39bcknt8r/wish/172618815 Plastic is very harmful to the envirement. The oceans absorb all of the dangerous chemicals in plastic which is very dangerous for the wild life underwater. Plastic is also dangerous to all the animals on land. Some animals try to eat peanut butter out of the container, but instead their face gets stuck in the container, this can lead to overheating or suffocation. Some animals also think that plastic is food so it is very dangerous if they eat it. Making plastic is wasting valuable resources. Plastic is also getting stuck to animals paws therefore it is harder to run away from predators. Fish in the North Pacific are ingesting 12,000-24,000 plastic each year same with turtles. As you can see plastic is very dangerous to the envirement.]]> 2017-05-18 15:43:42 UTC https://padlet.com/lisa_msuya/cux39bcknt8r/wish/172618815 https://padlet.com/lisa_msuya/cux39bcknt8r/wish/172619000 I learned that if plastic is broken down, plastic is still left the same. We could end up killing our environment and have nowhere to live which is bad. so we need to recycle instead of throwing stuff away]]> 2017-05-18 15:44:10 UTC https://padlet.com/lisa_msuya/cux39bcknt8r/wish/172619000 https://padlet.com/lisa_msuya/cux39bcknt8r/wish/172619313 Plastic can be harming animals by throwing trash in the  ocean. Plastic is slowly filling up the ocean. Plastic is impossible to have diapear if it gets burnt it gets smaller but doesn't disapear.]]> 2017-05-18 15:45:06 UTC https://padlet.com/lisa_msuya/cux39bcknt8r/wish/172619313 https://padlet.com/lisa_msuya/cux39bcknt8r/wish/172619901 Plastic is a very harmful thing and we do not do enough to try to remove it from our environment. Plastic is very harmful to animals and can choke them if they eat them. Plastic also is consumes 4.5 times more energy then reusable green bags.]]> 2017-05-18 15:46:52 UTC https://padlet.com/lisa_msuya/cux39bcknt8r/wish/172619901 https://padlet.com/lisa_msuya/cux39bcknt8r/wish/172620206 I learned that plastic pollution is greatly harming marine life, and we need to find an alternative to plastic. We also need to find a way to great rid of all of the plastic in the ocean so no more animals are harmed.]]> 2017-05-18 15:47:55 UTC https://padlet.com/lisa_msuya/cux39bcknt8r/wish/172620206 https://padlet.com/lisa_msuya/cux39bcknt8r/wish/172620902 Today I learned that plastic has some very bad effects on our environment. Although plastic can decompose it is still plastic. One thing we can do to reduce the plastic waste is by using a reusable water bottle]]> 2017-05-18 15:50:19 UTC https://padlet.com/lisa_msuya/cux39bcknt8r/wish/172620902 https://padlet.com/lisa_msuya/cux39bcknt8r/wish/172622237 Today I learned that plastic pollution is a big cause of harm and death to many animals around our planet today. Plastic pollution can be found on every beach, every single one. That's a lot of beaches, a lot of destruction, a lot of time to clean up what shouldn't even be there in the first place! But it is, because it's everywhere. And by everywhere, I mean everywhere.]]> 2017-05-18 15:55:02 UTC https://padlet.com/lisa_msuya/cux39bcknt8r/wish/172622237 https://padlet.com/lisa_msuya/cux39bcknt8r/wish/172623466 I learned that plastic affects water, the environment, and wildlife. Local and State Governments around Australia spend more than $200 per year picking up litter. Noise pollution induces hearing loss, high blood pressure, stress, and sleep disturbance.]]> 2017-05-18 15:59:04 UTC https://padlet.com/lisa_msuya/cux39bcknt8r/wish/172623466 https://padlet.com/lisa_msuya/cux39bcknt8r/wish/172624840 i think we should keep the ocean clean. don"t throw garbage in the ocean]]> 2017-05-18 16:04:00 UTC https://padlet.com/lisa_msuya/cux39bcknt8r/wish/172624840 https://padlet.com/lisa_msuya/cux39bcknt8r/wish/172625856 I have learned that plastics can really hurt animals and destroy there habitat.]]> 2017-05-18 16:07:18 UTC https://padlet.com/lisa_msuya/cux39bcknt8r/wish/172625856 https://padlet.com/lisa_msuya/cux39bcknt8r/wish/172626258 I learned that plastics have a bunch of effects on the environment. And we need to be smart on what we do with plastic.]]> 2017-05-18 16:08:42 UTC https://padlet.com/lisa_msuya/cux39bcknt8r/wish/172626258 https://padlet.com/lisa_msuya/cux39bcknt8r/wish/172626705 Today I learned that 267 different species suffer form entanglement. Australia spends more than 2000 million dollar to pick up litter that a lot. We are the ones who started it now we need to end it.

It also takes hundreds of years just to break down one simple plastic bag.]]> 2017-05-18 16:14:46 UTC https://padlet.com/lisa_msuya/cux39bcknt8r/wish/172627785 https://padlet.com/lisa_msuya/cux39bcknt8r/wish/172627842 I learned that there are many chemicals in plastics that can cause many health issues.]]> 2017-05-18 16:15:00 UTC https://padlet.com/lisa_msuya/cux39bcknt8r/wish/172627842 https://padlet.com/lisa_msuya/cux39bcknt8r/wish/172628603 I learned that plastics affect our environment greatly and is harming the wildlife ]]> 2017-05-18 16:17:30 UTC https://padlet.com/lisa_msuya/cux39bcknt8r/wish/172628603 https://padlet.com/lisa_msuya/cux39bcknt8r/wish/172628678 From my research I learned that we use a lot of plastic and just throw it on the ground when we are done with it. I also learned that many of those plastics are very harmful to everyone, including us.
