Do You Believe That Plastic is Compulsory

Do you really believe plastic is a necessity in everyday life We certainly DO NOT Plastic is ruining our

exquisite oceans and threatening our majestic animals that are unique to earth alone Plastic is also accel-

erating greenhouse gases that are conquering our world bit by bit

To start off our intensively elegant oceans are being torn apart by the anonymous silent killer known as

PLASTIC YOU have maximised the intensive amount of plastic that the ocean is holding The ocean is di-

minishing as we speak and yoursquore doing nothing to stop it

In addition our scientists have spoken and believe that plastic is slaughtering animalrsquos environments and

lives daily Unfortunately it is sapping the lives out of innocent animals Some shops have already estab-

lished getting rid of plastic and are only using recyclable ones for the sake of the environment

Furthermore greenhouse gases are increasing the temperature throughout the world and it is shrinking

Antarctica to little pieces Greenhouse gases are causing climate change and with the addition of unnec-

essary plastic in the ocean and on land our world is slowly getting destroyed

In conclusion plastic is an atrocious thing that man has created It is assisting and aiding greenhouse gas-

es it is killing our animals and destroying our precious oceans So make a positive decision and reduce

using plastic NOW or better still STOP IT
