We have been learning about plastic pollution and how it affects the ocean and its creatures. We wrote a letter to someone in our whānau to encourage them to use less plastic.
Dear Rihana,
Did you know Plastic lasts a long time? Also, Plastic breaks into little pieces, and sea animals eat it! It’s so sad.
More than 380 million tonnes of plastic are produced each year!! My class is participating in the Young Ocean Explorers challenge. That means if we collect 1 or more plastic rubbish to save our environment. Te Manga (my class) and Te Puwai are participating. You are in Te Puawai so you are also doing it.We have collected 1170 pieces.
To reduce the amount of plastic we can use paper bags if we are going to Pak’nsave. We can reduce the plastic we use. Or we can do to save our enviroment is to stop using plastic and just throw it in the beach. Instead of using plastic straws use metal straws. Instead of using plastic bags or anything that is plastic use metal or paper.
There are lots of things we can do to protect Mother Earth!
