Taking a stand against pollution

The world is being overcome slowly and steadily by pollution in many forms. One of the worst and most threatening is the non recyclable use of plastics. Plastic bottles are finding their way into our oceans and breaking up into plastic particles that are being eaten by the fish that we consume, forming a huge garbage pile the size of Texas in the Pacific Ocean.

By Aaron Hanania

Plastics are slowly destroying our world. One day, plastic refuse will dominate the world and overshadow humankind.

We need to be aware. Not using plastic bags at the grocery store. Use paper instead. Not using plastic bottled water, using glass bottles instead or reusable containers to drink from.
