Hello, Friends of the Earth!!

I once saw a man toss his milky way plastic wrapper on the ground as if it were no big deal. I gave him an intense glare, but I do not think that he even noticed it. Later on that day I found out what it caused: It began to rain, and the plastic wrapper was washed into a storm drain by the rain, then it ended up in the ocean, and it caused a penguin to die after it ate it. An couple hours after I heard about this I went out for another walk and I saw another plastic wrapper on the side of the road! To avoid letting this scenario happen again I picked it up and threw it away in the trash. 

This scenario has been repeated millions of times. Unfortunately a lot of litter that ends up in the ocean form into what is called a enormous  plastic island, and two are almost as big as Texas! It may seem like it is not a big deal but it is, it can do so much damage to the world and to ourselves!
