Hey readers!Today we have come up with the idea of Interview Sunday.We are going to interview people who have taken the initiative to save Earth. This Sunday, we have interviewed 2 children have made a difference by cleaning a beach called Carter beach. Within a few weeks, they have found a poor sea turtle entangled in plastic(it was too late to save it) and a decomposed cat who had eaten the plastic. Make sure this doesn’t happen and animals don’t suffer by not littering the oceans and beaches!If you are anywhere close to this beach, join every Saturday and bring our clean and green world back!
Names:Alyssa and Gunranak.
Why:We wanted to be responsible and balance the ecosystem.It's quite dirty, but we will do anything to save the planet.
Process:They collected 650 kgs in 1 week. First, the plastic is collected and is loaded in a truck. Then, it goes to a company called GreenMena and is recycled to make eco-friendly plastic.
Facts on Plastic pollution on beaches:
1. 3.5 million people get sick from being in contact with sewage while swimming.
2. It is estimated that beach pollution affects 800 species of wildlife around the world.
3.100,000 turtles and marine mammals, such as dolphins, whales and seals, are killed by plastic marine litter every year around the world. Plastics are the most common man made objects sighted at sea, with 18,000 pieces of plastic litter floating on every square kilometre of the world's oceans!
4. There are 5.25 trillion pieces of plastic waste estimated to be in our oceans. 269,000 tons float, 4 billion microfibers dwell below the surface. 70% of our debris sinks into the ocean's ecosystem, 15% floats, and 15% lands on our beaches. In terms of plastic, 8.3 million tons are discarded in the sea yearly.
