MARINE POLLUTION

PRESERVE THE EARTH

Plastic pollution is something we can all try to do something about by reducing the amount of plastics we use and throw away, like water bottles, plastic cups, plastic drinking straws and bags. Many of these items are blown into the oceans. They cause danger to sea creatures when creatures swallow them or get caught up in them. But plastics present a further danger to the whole marine ecosystem and ultimately our own health when they are broken down by the movement of the waves into microscopic microplastics, which can make their way into our water supplies.
