Plastic Waste draft

Page history last edited by Lisette 13 years ago

LISETTE, ARETHA, JENNIFER, ANNIE, TIMMY, ALESSANDRO     

     Our group is has been learning about how plastic waste is related to PEPS. We have created a paragraphs   related to PEPS to show you how plastic waste not only creates problems for sea/ and land creatures but us humans as well. We hope that these paragraphs will create an impact on you and show you how plastic waste creates a lot of problems for our earth and us

     Physical    

      As a global community we need to realize that plastic waste is ruining our natural resources and the earth's landscape is turning into a total massive dump. About 10% of our plastic waste ends up in the our seas and oceans and destroying causes  tremendous distrauctions to the  our ocean's wildlife creatures,and us humansMost of these sea creatures are confused and  have mistaken for what they are eating;  plastic waste for food , and this  causes big  large  an enormous impact which has  not only hit the our seas but on main  our  land and as well. like Plastic bags items are blocking the gutters and is very harmful less to animals and thousands of marine wildlife. Animals die each  every year from eating these same plastic bags that have been mistakenedly for food. Also the Although pollution is not that similar to plastic waste, the pollution from factories that and are creating huge humongous health problems for us humans that further promotes cancer and health problems and even breathing hazards for those who have Asthma. We need to take a notes action about that this problem which is most likely serious not only to humans but other bio-diversity of living things.We may think that when we put all the plastic some where and then it would disappear well nooooo! This is creating a huge big chain reaction that is harmful to everyone and everything such as animals and even our landscape.

The existence of the Great Plastic Garbage patch was predicted in 1988 paper published by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric  Administration (NOAA) of the United States.   

 and teh diversity of living things... A lot of things ruin the earth and we might think that the only problem with plastic waste would be that plastic goes into the oceans but even a dump ruins our earth because we don't know if maybe where the dump is, there could have been a tree. Maybe that tree was a home to a land creature, we can see one litter we do creates a chain reaction that is really harmful to everyone and the diversity of living things.The average family of four uses at least 1,000 Plastic bags a year and 98 per cent of them end up in landfills (yorregion.com)Pastic bags also block guters and chocke from animals and marine wildlife thousand I. Most of the sea life dies because of plastic waste in the oceans and even if the sea life doesn't die instantly but they do get sick. Even Throwing garbage and it going to the dump it still creates problems to the earth because we don't know if where that dump is, there actually could have been a tree and that tree could have been a home to a land animal so plastic waste not only causes problems for land creatures and sea creatures but also us humans. 

Economical

      All humans who buys plastic water bottles and plastic bags e.t.c. is because it is cheaper We should also always think how no matter in what way one litter we do creates problems for anyone/anything. Having garbage especially plastic items in the oceans does not help our environment in any way. Allot of people buy plastic bags and water bottles because it is cheaper and is easier to buy a plastic bag then to carry a bag from our own homes and is also way easier to buy a plastic water bottle than to bring a reusable/stainless steel bottle . What we  many don't know is how the bags are brought into the stores and what happens to the bags after we throw them out. Many don't know how this really affects our earth and us. People don't notice these things and how they affect anything.The bags may end up becoming recycle or end up some wear tragic such as the oceans. What people don't know is how when plastic items get into the oceans how it effects so many things especially animals and us humans too. We can stop this issue from happening by buying items that don't use much plastic wrapping or bring a reusable bag as you are about to leave your home,this will not only help the environment but help  children of today to learn the ways of plastic waste and what to help prevent it, we should teach an continue to show the younger to make a better community. to litter soon there will be no land just a big peace of plastic .We (you) should always think before we/you do something especially before when we are going to buy or even throw away plastic items away and , we should always remember that even the first plastic item ever created , still exists today and is probably somewhere in with in the many oceans we have in our world. Plastic water bottles are cheaper but that doesn't mean it doesn't mean that plastic waste isn't bad for the environment. Stainless steel water bottles are more expensive and help our environment to keep clean.   Anything we do even one piece of plastic that we throw out will effect our earth no matter how it effects our earth 

and easier to cary the items we buy or bring with us,we don't really think about our landscape, so we should always think if we are goingto do somethingor buy something and think how is buying this going to effect thenvironment a

Economic

-we can use items that use less packaging

-reuse package.

-buy items that has less plastic wrapping used.

-we can buy stainless steal water bottle instead of buying plastic water bottles.

 

Political 

      A lot of Governments such as the Indian Delhi government and India's Municipal Government have banned plastic bags because of the fact that they have noticed that many a large number of people are buying plastic things items and also noticed that this is plastic not only ruining destroys ing their landscapes or  and killing the sea animals and the land animals but also creating health problems for the people in their communities. By noticing all of these harmful things that plastic waste is   brings is not only creating we notice that it is not just affecting animals but as well as us  humans,at last  governments are trying to make a change at least in their countries. Governments don't want people to get sick because of the pollution it creates to make plastic and governments have noticed this and are trying to keep their citizens healthy. Many governments such as the Australian government and others are banning plastic items because they are trying to reduce plastic waste.Major benefits of  using recycling bins to dispose plastic Waste is that it helps in its re-utilization. Many governments do not like how their country looks like and they have noticed that this is ruining the country and they don't like this so they are banning many different types of plastic items.

   Social

      Since allot of the sea creature population has been decreasing because of plastic waste disruptions in the oceans this is causing problems especially for people who like fishing as a recreation or a hobby. A lot of people such as grandparents (or people under stress) need a way to relax and fishing is normally really relaxing especially for grandparents. There are allot of people who like swimming in oceans to have fun with family and because of all this plastic waste in our oceans many people can't are not able to be able to swim (or dive) in the oceans (lacks) and this may cause problems/stress for people because this might be a traditional way to spend time with family and friends. This is a also a huge problem for people especially who are retired because all they want is some quiet time to relax or have time alone and not to have to deal with stress. This creates more stress for these people. We do not want people in our world or even in our community to be miserable because they are not able to spend time alone or with their family and friends the way they like to. Many people swim in oceans as a recreation and have fun with friends and family and this is fun for them but now because of all the plastic in the oceans there are families that don't spend time the way they would like to and it doesn't seem that fun anymore to spend time together as a family.

Social

Plastic waste can be used by garbage and humans use Plastic waste such as food from the store and from the markt

The averge family of four uses at least 1,000 Plastic bags +a year and 98 per cent of them end up in landfills (yorregion.com). Plastic bags also block gutters and chocke from animals and marine wildlife thousand
