The Plastic Bottle on the Beach

Last Saturday, my class went to clean a beach near our town.

We found many plastic bottles under the trees and rocks.

One bottle had a small crab inside it, so we opened it and let the crab go.

Our teacher told us that plastic does not break down for hundreds of years.

It breaks into tiny pieces, and fish eat those pieces by mistake.

Then people eat the fish, which is very bad for us.

We collected twelve bags of plastic in two hours.

But the next morning, new plastic was on the beach again.

Cleaning is helpful, but we must stop using so much plastic first.
