Plastic pollution is created with non wanted plastic waste, hard plastic that we cant break up and the worst of them all plastic bags. All of our shops give out over 6,000 plastic bags each year which adds to more than 500,000 plastic bags getting given out all around the world. To stop this our shops should be offering more hemmed or sewed bags and you might think that thats not going to stop it all but it will start our movement.
The government says that they hope by early next year the plastic bags will be fully gone but theres only about 14 places in the world that have stopped using them. Hopefully by 2020 all of our plastic bags should be gone says our priminister Jacinda Adern.
The first stops of this process
- Use biodegradable and plant based plastic even though it needs hot soil to break down it will still be a great start
- Ban plastic bags in all countries
- Create a beach clean up team
- And last of all just take a cotton or sewed bag
Here are some facts
Every year over 150 turtles and fish die because our plastic ends up in the ocean and they either eat it because they think its food or suffocate themselves.
The plastic is creating toxic chemicals in the air and starting to give people cancer and deseases.
