Pollution

Pollution comes from rubbish, gasses and smoke.

Effects of Pollution on the Oceans

• Plastic bags can float in the ocean looking like jellyfish which is a food turtles love to eat so they can attempt to eat them by mistake.
• Pelicans can eat things which float on the ocean like bottle tops and feed them to their young.
• Traffic cones can get stuck on polar bears making it harder for them to catch food.
• Birds can get caught in fishing nets, mistaking it for twigs they could use to build their nests.

What Can We Do?

• Not use single use plastic bags.
• Use paper straws
• Use water bottles
• Recycle
