| Oil | ||
| Task: What do you think we should do to improve the health of our oceans? | ||
I think that we should start reusing plastic to save it going into the ocean.
My first reason for thinking this is because 50% – 80% oxygen comes from the ocean and without our ocean we would have water.
My second reason is sea creatures are another source of our food.
My last reason is they have a part in climate change and the greenhouse effect.
In conclusion I think it best to ban plastic so animals can live a better life.
Hi Spencer, thank you for your post – I can see from this and other posts on the subject that you are thinking about this issue carefully. Tino pai! I think it is a real challenge to balance out getting the things we need from the ocean and looking it after properly. What do you think?
