The Plastic in Our Sea

Every year, a lot of plastic goes into the sea.

Some of it comes from ships, but most comes from towns and cities.

Rain washes plastic bags and bottles into rivers, and the rivers carry them to the sea.

Fish and birds eat small pieces of plastic because they look like food.

This is very bad for them.

People want to clean the sea, but it is not easy.

The plastic is everywhere, and it breaks into very small pieces.

These pieces are hard to see and hard to catch.

Some countries now stop using plastic bags.

Others ask people to use less plastic at home.

We can all help, but we must act together.
