This Term we have been doing writing about speeches that we have to present to our class, but first we had to use a topic.

The Use of Plastic 

 Hi, my name is Jordyn and I am going to be talking about the use of plastic and how it is killing our marine life. Let's start .

Over 2 million people use plastic every minute. More than half a billion  plastic straws are used every day around the world. Over half of the world´s plastic that was thrown out in 2015 was plastic packaging. That's over 141 million metric tons. For example to stop using plastic is 

 ✏ Reduce. You should reduce your own plastic waste 

✏ Reuse. Bring your own re usable shopping and produce bags to markets, and avoid using single-use plastic bags. 

✏Refuse. Refuse straws: It's as simple as adding, “No straw, please” when requesting beverages at restaurants or cafes

88% of our ocean is polluted with trash. Everyday plastic bags, straws and all the plastic in the world go to our marine life. It's time to ban the bags, because they are so lightweight they  can travel long distances by wind and water and they end up in our oceans causing our animals to die.  

Thank you for listening to my speech. Have a great day!
