World Oceans Day

Hi everyone,

For this World Oceans Day the eco-warriors decided to focus on the issue of plastic pollution and the detrimental effect this is having on the ocean. As the poster states; every year 8 million metric tonnes of plastic waste is dumped into the ocean, which is equivalent to the weight of approximately 57,000 blue whales! This is killing 1.5 million sea animals and birds a year. So this World Oceans Day our message is to #StopPlasticPollution and say no to single-use plastics.

The Eco-Warriors made the poster below.

And here is a very emotive poem from Julia, an Eco-Warrior from Y4. I like her idea of doing it on a plastic bag… It really makes you think about how we can reduce our waste.
