Pollution

Over the past few weeks we have been learning about pollution. This blog is about what I have learnt over the past few weeks.

We have been learning about whales and how they have been washing up on beaches with stomachs full of plastic. Whales feed micro organisms called Phytoplankton which produce oxygen. They make 4X more oxygen than the amazon rainforest and 85% of all oxygen on earth. Plastic is killing heaps of animals every hour. 8 million tons of trash gets dropped in the ocean every year and that number is rising. Plastic dissolves and turns into things called microplastics which are practically invisible especially to fish. They eat these and die.

I think that the oceans should be cleaned up and taken care of. We could help by donating to charities that clean up the ocean and should stop using one time use plastic.

  1. Hello Cody, I like the way you added information about the Phytoplankton and what it does to help us, one thing that you could've done better, is add a photo so other people know what you are showing and what the problem is with our planet.
