27 August 2018 Hi everyone, this is a picture of a whale that washed up on the shore of Spain. They cut it open and found out it died of plastic pollution. There's so much rubbish inside of him. He obviously swallowed plastic while trying to catch fish. That is just so sad, poor whale 😪 He could've been having fun now. Please everyone, please stop using so much plastic. Thank you Bye

Hi everyone, this is a plastic bottle filled with plastic. It is extremely strong and you can build houses, chairs and basically anything with it.  It can last up to.400 years which is quite a lot! So please don't throw your plastic away, squeeze it into a bottle until it's very full and hard, when it cant bend. That is then used as a brick.

Hey everyone there is this cool thing going around and I have recently heard of it. It's how they make owl houses out of recycled plastic. So please everyone, don't just throw your plastic away.  Please contact  Arrie 082 719 5463 from the Owl Rescue Centre in Hartbeespoort. They give you a big bag which you put your plastic in, then when it's full they come and collect it and give you an empty bag back. You only pay R 200 once. With all your plastic it could make one owl very happy. https://www.facebook.com/259068390789899/posts/2231609166869135/ https://www.facebook.com/OwlRescueCentre/?_rdc=1&_rdr

Hi, my name is Robyn Theron. I am 11 years old and I watched a video by Severn Cullis Suzuki. She spoke at the United Nations conference 25 years ago. After I watched it I decided that I have to do more. So I'm starting this blog to inspire people to help me make a difference. Part of my plan to make a difference is to reduce the use of plastic. I understand that it will be hard to not use plastic at all so let's work on challenges: 1) Try not use any plastic bags from shops for three days a week. It's hard in the beginning, but soon it becomes a habit. You will see that you might not need to use plastic bags for 7 days a week : ) Plastic bags take 500 years to forever to decompose. 2) Try to reduce your use of plastic straws. Why do we use straws anyway? Did you know it takes between 200 - 500 years for straws to decompose? More than 97% of dead Laysan albatross chicks and more than 89% dead adult birds contain plastics in their stomachs. It breaks my heart. 3) Try
