The three things I will do to save the planet on world environment day is...
1. Stop using plastic like bottles,spoons,plates and we can use steel or metal wood anything but plastic you can use anything well not anything but lots of stuff but metal
2. Pick up any plastic you have or any rubbish outside or inside your house and throw it in the bin or reuse it
3. If you are using plastic for art keep the plastic and don't loose it or throw it in the bin
I wrote three ways to save the rubbish from going outside and into a garbage patch
Mōrena Mehakpreet,
ReplyDeleteGood job for finishing this Summer Learning Journey activity, 'Environment Day - Beat Plastic Pollution' and for telling us about three things that you could do to help save the planet. It's good to see that your main focus is on single-use plastic. You're absolutely right, we could use anything other than single-use plastic for our utensils and plates.
Picking up rubbish is also an excellent way to help our environment, but it's important that we sort through the rubbish and allocate it to the correct disposal — for example, did you know that you can collect all of your soft plastics and take them to your local supermarket to dispose of in a 'soft plastics bin'? Soft plastic can't just go in the rubbish bin, because then it ends up in landfill, which then ends up in the ocean. Mostly—we as consumers—need to be cautious as to what we purchase, because we are only adding to the problem if we continue to purchase items that are made of single-use plastic, or even worse, have far too much packaging on them. If we refuse to purchase anything that has an unnecessarily large amount of packaging, then it is as though we are protesting against the big companies that support this style of marketing, and hopefully if we don't purchase these products, then they will change the way they market them.
I like your thinking all the same Mehakpreet!
I look forward to reading your other posts :)
Thanks,
Jordan
