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!
