Recycling Is Essential
I Strongly Believe that recycling is essential! Many marine life animals are mistaking plastic bags or other rubbish for prey and then dying. Over 1 million animals per year are dying from ingesting plastic and having it in there system or even choking! We are breathing in the chemicals of plastic everyday because of people dumping rubbish in silly places. Also it takes 10-1000 years for plastic to decompose!
Do you ever think about how many animals die a year from eating plastic? Well over 1 million marine life animals actually dies a year from eating plastic! One Green Planet has told us that “Sea turtles are the most common animals that die from eating plastic per year. The other most common animals are Seals, Sea Lions, Sea Birds, Whales and Dolphins”. I find it very sad that innocent animals are dying every year from plastic that people have thrown in the sea!
Us Humans are breathing in the toxic chemicals from the plastic and that can not be good for our systems! BPA is a very toxic chemical in plastic. Scientists have found that BPA is in the plastic bottles that some people drink out of! BPA affects the brain and heart. Have you thought about having a drink bottle that either BPA free of made of stainless steel?
Do you know how many years it takes for plastic to break down? 10-1000 years! The plastic that is put in landfills takes that long to go away! Just remember every piece of rubbish you drop will be there for your kids life and their kids life and their kids life and so on! If we don’t start recycling now our whole world will turn into a dump!
Have you ever thought of using reusable bags for your shopping or bringing a lunch box to school instead of a plastic bag, all of these things will help save our environment!
Those 3 reasons are why I believe that recycling is essential! Do you think that? If you dont then I hope I made you change your mind!
