Plastic Bags are a Big Problem for the Sea, by Sophia and Malena from CM2-A

                                                         

The pollution of seas and oceans is one of the main types of pollution in the word, along with atmospheric pollution.  The pollution of the seas is created by pesticides used in the fields, and the large amount of waste thrown into the sea.

Pollution of the seas causes choking hazards to animals such as turtles, fish or birds. Turtles eat plastic because they confuse it with jellyfish.
Pollution of rivers can also poison the water, which leads us to buy bottles of water that we will also throw away, which will increase the amount of plastic waste and will further increase pollution.

The solution is to avoid using plastic, to use reusable containers, to use biodegradable products and buy organic produce.

We also heard that there is a bacteria that eats plastic, this could be another way to reduce the amount of plastic in the oceans.
