Sustainability

I have used the following materials in my project:

  • Timber
  • Cardboard
  • Paint
  • Thermoplastic
  • Glue

Plastics are very bad for the environment because some people throw things such as plastic bottles out when they can be reused, this causes a huge impact on our environment because people burry them underground in the hopes of them decomposing by themselves but they actually take over 50 years to do so! Imagine what our planet would be like in 50 years time, plastic would be EVERYWHERE. Another important reason is because some of the plastic bags we throw out get carried away by the wind and into the ocean. Sme animls such as turtles will mistake them for jellyfish and they will actually eat them! Therefore the bag would block their airway, causing them to suffocate to death.

Steps My Family and I can take to Reduce Plastic Consumption and Protect the Environment:

  • Not littering plastic
  • Reusing plastic and other materials
  • Bringing lunch to school using a container
  • Buyinge reusable water bottle instead of plastic
