 Environmental Issue Compare and Contrast
Before it wasn’t like this, before
Our issue is plastic pollution coming to water which is a you could grab water from the river no need to
very big deal. So we plan a solution and others so people filter
can know how to solve it and so people can know more you just take it. And there were more sea animals
and less diseases and deaths.
about water pollution or plastic pollution and I’m gonna After lots of water bodies were polluted, the fish
write all the issues details here. So the issues are people started to die and consume lots of plastic. A
using single used plastic and then dump the plastic into the fishermen
found a 30cm crumbled plastic bottle in a 19cm
ocean and can kill many fishes and possibly humans and also fish.
it’s the most dangerous because it can kill fishes and and not only the fish, mammal, birds and corals are
humans. starting to fade away because of the plastic. 100
million animals die per year just because of plastic,
and now when we eat fish we eat nanoplastic, which
causes diseases.

The Impacts
can affect the food chain because when the fishes eat plastic
Cause
easily because it looks like jelly fish and plus it’s not good for The cause from plastic is from the some use of
the fishes body and can make the fishes die because plastic is failed 3D printing, single use plastics, and food
not supposed to be swallowed and when fishers get the fishes wrapped in single use plastics. some of the plastics
that ate the plastic then it can be transferred to a restorant is directly dumped into the ocean and pollutes the
and be cutted then cooked then served to people that eat it ocean which is bad and we can see how much plastic
can get sickness like salmonella and other diseases in a local are and plastic straw and other plastic
that can be fatal plastic pollution is also everywhere and it is stuff is most always gets dumped in the ocean and
very bad because plastic take 100-1000 years to decompose why I think it’s more bad the cause is also fossil
And micro plastics which is plastic bits has been found almost fuels you might ask why well because a lot of
everywhere even in the human body such as kidneys, livers plastic well actually 90% of plastic is made by fossil
and, placentas, also there’s research that over 1.500 marine fuels which also can pollute the air too because of
animals caught ingesting plastic which is very sad. the fossil fuels burning.

Perspective Solutions
Our perspective is that water pollution caused by We should reduce plastic.
plastic is very messed up because not only were We should put legal measures such as, paying
destroying the fishes environment were also destroying taxes if they ever throw trash to protected
our environment and its not good by 2050 if we keep up water bodies.
how much plastic we throw were gonna have more plastic We should also make laws to educate people
in the sea than fishes which is definitely Bad for us less about preventing plastic waste.
than 9 plastic used is to recycle which I think is bad because Stop using one single used plastic.
peoples say they will recycle but in all the world less than Stop using boycott microbeads (it’s little plastic
9% plastic is reuse/recycle and also 90% of plastic is made things in most of the beauty products)
of the fossil fuels which is so bad because fossil fuels is also cook more (It means to make more homecooked
meals)
so bad for the environment so I think water pollution plastic is
