Speech

 This week we have been practicing speeches. Our teacher wanted the specch to be atlest 2 min and 30 seconds my speech was 2 min 35 seconds. Here is my speech I hope you like it. 

Dear world,

This planet is very dirty with lots of rubbish everywhere that’s why if you have rubbish, put it in the bin, putting rubbish in the bin helps the environment. By helping the environment you can put rubbish in the recycle bin or the rubbish bin. The rubbish can fly thousands of meters and sometimes it makes it to the ocean. By rubbish filling the ocean “pollution” comes in and pollution to the sea animals can cause lots of deaths and even extinction. Rubbish such as plastic in the ocean can cause deaths and statistics say 700 species such as turtles, fish, and lots of more marine life could go extinct because of it.

For example here's a list of the animals that are dying from our plastic trash sea turtles, Sea birds, Sea Lions, Seals, Fish, whales, and dolphins. These animals are suffering from our plastic and rubbish being put in the sea.  When these animals die, the life in the sea would no longer be magical and attracting it would be plain and boring. Rubbish is getting tangled up in the turtles mouths and shell causing them to die a slow sad death or a tough time for the turtles.

We throw out a whopping 8 billion worth of food waste every year, 8 billion is a really big number in food. And statistics show that an estimated 14 billion pounds of trash - most of it is plastic, which means that 14 billion pounds of trash is being dumped into the ocean every year. Plastic takes thousands of years to decompose in the ocean, which means a lot of plastic from thousands and thousands of years ago that plastic could still be floating around somewhere in the ocean and that also means that fish and other kinds of sea life are dying every day from our plastic trash.

This plastic trash that we have been polluting has been dating back to the 1960's and when plastic has been in the sea in 1960 it still hasn't decomposed till this day.

And how would you feel if your home was being polluted? I know that I would feel disgusted, that's why we all need to step up and save this planet so it can be habitable once again.

Be a part of the solution, not a part of the pollution...
