Plastic pollution kills animals in two main ways: animals often mistake plastic for food and eat it, which can cause injury or death, and animals can also get trapped in plastic debris like six-pack rings, restricting their movement and potentially killing them. The health of the oceans is critical to all life on Earth as the oceans regulate greenhouse gases and provide food. Reducing single-use plastics by refusing top sources like bags, bottles, and straws and opting for reusable alternatives or supporting brands with recycled packaging can help address the plastic pollution problem.

2. Why does plastic kill animals?
● The animals confuse it with food and they eat them.
● Animals put their body in the hole of six-pack rings,and they get trapped, and
develop within it and end up deforman or dying.

3. All animals (including humans) depend on the ocean for food and a healthy
ecosystem that maintains the balance of greenhouse gases. Scientists agree: If
the oceans die, we die.

4. How we can fix it
● Refuse the top five sources of single - use plastic : plastic bags, water
bottles, to go containers, takeaway cups and straws.
● Use a reusable water bottle or shopping bag
● If single-use plastic is unavoidable, choose to support brands that commit
to recycled packaging.
