Impact of Plastic on our environment

                              This is Causes and types of Plastic Pollution on the environment          By Dylan Dsa

How Much plastic is there in the Ocean?

Scientists believe that there are over 5.25 trillion macro and micro pieces of plastic in our ocean & 46,000 pieces in every square mile of ocean, weighing up to 269,000 tonnes. Every day around 8 million pieces of plastic makes their way into our oceans.

Yes this is true 


Nowadays there is an auto Plastic clean up 


This auto Plastic clean up was made by a Dutch inventor and Boyan Slat is going to use it

But this device won't help that much for us to keep the ocean we must not litter a single piece of plastic of a candy bar or any other item that can hurt 100 fish! yes you heard it right 100 fish

cause unaware fishes eat plastic without knowing what it is and about to 100 can eat it


and also what I said above about 8 Million Plastic goes to the ocean every day yes this is real 


Let's move on to the Famous pacific ocean - 


The Pacific Ocean has over 3,500,000,000,000 fish Oh man I don't even know this number okay let's get to the point if we keep littering scientists believe all the fish in the Ocean will disappear and slowly also will the Pacific  Ocean disappear 


Now you must be thinking hm you're wrong we have an auto-clean plastic clean up But according to the dutch inventor this machine can only hold 800,000 plastic wrappers but every single day there is 8 Million plastic going into the ocean now only humans can save the world 


Some people think we don't need water or fish but now I will tell the Impact 


1.We can lose food many non-vegetarians eat fish 

2. old temple and great old thing and remain things to discover will be gone if we keep littering


and the worst thing is we will lose people! yes, people, some people drink the ocean water from an island because it's clean but if these poor people don't see the ocean won't they die 

we will lose 326,000,000,000,000,000,000 gallons (that's 326 million trillion gallons) of the stuff (roughly) that much water is on the earth 


Now not technology not devices but people can help the world survive.


Impact of Plastic on land 


Chlorinated plastic can release harmful chemicals into the surrounding soil, which can then seep into groundwater or other surrounding water sources, and also the ecosystem. This can cause a range of potentially harmful effects on the species that drink the water


about 230 animals in the Amazon forest die because of plastic every single month


that's roughly 2,760 animals that die each year because of Plastic

The environment is like a give and take you give or liter plastic you get dirty air and polluted air

we have been nice the environment will be nice

Thousands of seabirds and sea turtles, seals, and other marine mammals are killed each year after ingesting plastic or getting entangled in it. Endangered wildlife like Hawaiian monk seals and Pacific loggerhead sea turtles are among nearly 700 species that eat and get caught in plastic litter.

Wow after this all information I bet you guys wanna help the world
