Begin your explanation here: 

Have you ever wondered where your trash goes?

Most of it goes into a dump or a trash bin but where does it go if you don't put it in those places?

Today we are going to look at where the rubbish is going and how we stop it.

Most rubbish today goes in your rubbish bin, right? No, most rubbish in some communities go into rivers or even in their own town! Some communities don't even have trash bins, most of the time they have to live and work in their own trash!

Even the sea is so polluted that our fish that we eat most of the time have microscopic plastic in them, crazy right?

How can we stop this?

We can stop polluting in many ways, here are some examples. You could make something for example like a rubbish robot or you could make tunnels for your animals. Another idea is, if you have plastic bags you can reuse them at the supermarket or use it to pick up dog poop. Another thing you can do is make them as plant holders. 

And there are way more things you can do to reuse your rubbish; those are just a few options. Now we are going to talk about how rubbish affects our planet and animals living in it.

Our animals on our planet are as important as us. They all have a job or use to us but if we keep on not caring about rubbish and where it goes then we are just going to kill ourselves.

Hundreds upon millions of marine animals have died each year because of rubbish being put in rivers or just thrown it away in the wind and that's just awful

Let's stop this today.

 

In conclusion, let's reuse and recycle.
