Plastic Vortex?When plastic is thrown away it floats across the ocean then a vortex sucks it in making a garbage patch. There are 5 or 6 plastic vortexes around the world that are getting bigger. The garbage patch is polluting the ocean and killing the sea creatures of the world and now the sea creatures are gonna be extinct so stop your littering and save the sea.

Marine animals? Plastic In Ocean Is bad.But why is it bad? That's what your asking yourself because plastic is making marine animals die.Why because they eat plastic and the chemicals in the plastic are making the animals ill and die.Because maybe a mother fish or mother albatross will die and their babies will be left alone and will die to because they will think that the plastic is food and they will feel full but their not so they will starve to death.So stop littering in the ocean and save the amazing marine animals in the sea.

     

Plastic bags used per year?Plastic bags may be useful for many things but plastic bags are killing and polluting the sea and this year people are gonna make, buy and throw away five trillion plastic bags and it`s Killing hundreds of sea creatures.
