Let your classmates know what you thought was the most alarming thing in the article about plastic in the ocean.  Be honest - do you litter?  What can you do to make a difference?  ]]> 2018-08-31 13:59:11 UTC https://padlet.com/thompsonb6/tgmnf874gopm/wish/276893205 https://padlet.com/thompsonb6/tgmnf874gopm/wish/276937602 I thought that having more plastic than fish by 2050 was the most alarming. I can make a difference by not littering my trash anymore and help pick up trash. Also i can start recycling plastic.

I found this very alarming. Personally, I do not litter, but in order to make a noticeable difference, it would take more people to not only stop littering, but also pick up trash that has already been littered so that we can start cleaning up the ocean.]]> 2018-08-31 15:56:18 UTC https://padlet.com/thompsonb6/tgmnf874gopm/wish/276938107 https://padlet.com/thompsonb6/tgmnf874gopm/wish/276938235  A Plastic Ocean is a documentary film directed by the Australian journalist Craig Lesson.

It needs to be stopped now its just gross.

I can prevent this by not throwing junk into the sea.

Its alarming that we have 14 million tons!! Right away i can pick up trash i see around so it doesnt drain out to the oceans. ]]> 2018-08-31 15:57:59 UTC https://padlet.com/thompsonb6/tgmnf874gopm/wish/276938580 https://padlet.com/thompsonb6/tgmnf874gopm/wish/276939005 The most alarming thing I found in the article is that there are 5 garbage patches and the biggest one being the size of Eastern Australia. I would pick up any trash that can possibly go into the ocean and nets should be placed around areas where there is a lot of trash to catch the litter before it spreads.]]> 2018-08-31 15:59:37 UTC https://padlet.com/thompsonb6/tgmnf874gopm/wish/276939005 https://padlet.com/thompsonb6/tgmnf874gopm/wish/276939306 it is very disturbing that our ocean contains so much plastic. i feel bad for every single fish out there. fight hard homies.]]> 2018-08-31 16:00:42 UTC https://padlet.com/thompsonb6/tgmnf874gopm/wish/276939306 https://padlet.com/thompsonb6/tgmnf874gopm/wish/276939332 i think its sad how all these animals are dying because of the plastic that we ruin their environments with.

Sea animals do not deserve to be dying because of our stupid mistakes. We are killing the animals in the planet we live. I know i can prevent this by recycling all plastic and help clean beaches, etc by volunteering for community service. ]]> 2018-08-31 16:03:56 UTC https://padlet.com/thompsonb6/tgmnf874gopm/wish/276940271 https://padlet.com/thompsonb6/tgmnf874gopm/wish/276940982 2018-08-31 16:06:10 UTC https://padlet.com/thompsonb6/tgmnf874gopm/wish/276940982 https://padlet.com/thompsonb6/tgmnf874gopm/wish/276946754 I think its disgusting that there is so much trash in our oceans. Many animals are dying due to this and its really alarming. More people should avoiding littering and go to more ocean clean ups.

I think that we as people should pick up our trash and throw it away in a garbage can instead of being lazy and littering, as well as, picking up any other trash we see.]]> 2018-08-31 17:01:29 UTC https://padlet.com/thompsonb6/tgmnf874gopm/wish/276959301 https://padlet.com/thompsonb6/tgmnf874gopm/wish/276959536 I think it is horrific how much plastic pollution in the ocean. The article states that "humanity has dumped up to 14 million tons of plastic pollution..." I find this alarming to the marine life in the ocean. These sea creatures are getting harmed and killed because of humanity. There should be more attention around this issue. ]]> 2018-08-31 17:02:12 UTC https://padlet.com/thompsonb6/tgmnf874gopm/wish/276959536 https://padlet.com/thompsonb6/tgmnf874gopm/wish/276959782 I thought it was a great idea to legalize plastic bags and straws for the safety of the creatures inside our ocean. It was sad to hear about all these beautiful animals being harmed/killed because of the selfish ways humans deciding to litter trash in the ocean. I'll be helping the community's ocean by volunteering to clean the ocean.

Especially how the fish our now consuming that plastic and dying from it. But what was very disturbing is that we might be eating these fish which means we might be consuming plastic too. We should be helping our planet not destroying it and we have taken some actions but we have to make a bigger change. ]]> 2018-08-31 17:03:12 UTC https://padlet.com/thompsonb6/tgmnf874gopm/wish/276959825 https://padlet.com/thompsonb6/tgmnf874gopm/wish/276959859 Buy and wear clothes made of cotton so it doesn't shed off microfibers into the water. Recycle more and Instead of using plastic items find biodegradable replacements. Urge US diplomats to help convince countries like China and India to put more effort into waste management and recycling facilities.
