Why we should stop using plastic bags. I have a few statements that I would like to share. I want to tell you about this problem because it is destroying our planet. Firstly, I want to talk about what plastic bags do to our environment. Secondly, I want to talk about why we should stop using plastic bags. Lastly, I want to talk about what we can use instead of plastic bags.
We can only use plastic bags once then we throw it away. They will end up in landfills or in our oceans. Sea creatures, usually sea turtles mistake them for jelly fish and eat them. So, the fish that we eat most likely had plastic in them. Funny how plastic bags are made with materials from the earth but they do not decompose. We need to do something about this, for example; we should charge for plastic bags. Most markets in Australia are doing this. Charging for plastic bags encourages people to bring their own. Recently a dead whale was discovered in Indonesia with over 100 pieces of plastic in it, about 26% of it were plastic bags. To reduce the use of plastic bags in your life, you can use a reusable bag. I usually forget mine so I keep one in what ever bag I am using that day. We always have two big reusable bags just in case. If you do not have a reusable bad and you do not want to buy one, you can make them yourself out of old clothes. They are really fun to make and customize. In conclusion I think that reducing the use of plastic bags in your life ill help a lot. A little change makes a big difference. I hope you will take this essay into consideration the next time you go shopping.

In science class we had to learn about how oil spills harm wildlife. We also did an experiment to see what oil spills does to birds. For our experiment we needed some water, soap and oil. We also needed a feather that we found on the ground. The results were that oil is a liquid that is hard to remove off of most things and animals, so if a feather was affected by the oil spill the oil wood be hard to remove. If you use soap to try and remove it, it does not work cause soap only breaks the oil down into smaller forms, it doesn't remove it completely. This is why wildlife recurs have a hard time tacking care of the affected birds, the best thing to do is to avoid oil spills completely. I didn't really like when we had to dip the feather in oil cause after it got everywhere. This show that we tried to know more about what happens to the animals and tried to understand how to help them.
Helping others. If you have a family member, a friend or a sinificant other you woulfd like to help them. Cause if you are helping them you wil feel good about your self. Plus you love them so it doesent hert to help. Helping otheres is a great thing to do so you should keep helping others.
