The Ocean: Beautiful but Vulnerable

The ocean is full of beautiful and amazing creatures. Our students chose to represent this in our design. However, sea life is suffering and dying from plastic pollution. People need to think about ways to help; by fishing sustainably, picking up rubbish and then putting it in the correct bins. 






In the future, scientists predict there will be more plastic in the ocean than fish.

One the back we included images of our school 'traffic light' bin system. This shows one way we can reduce waste going into landfill and or the ocean; by putting rubbish into the correct place. 

Other ways include: 

- Having a wrapper free lunch

- Buying in bulk to reduce the amount of plastic you have

- Picking up (3 pieces) of litter when you're out and about
