Voyage of plastic

              If you go around the sea and see some sparkling pink stuff it is probably plastic.Scientists have been looking at this fact and are trying to find out how it is being cause and how it affects the environment. One of the damages it might be accusing is killing fish or making it hard for marine life. Dr.Law and some helpers looked at the amount of plastic over 22 years and it is still the same even though people are throwing away more plastic now. The reason why is because the plastic might be breaking into smaller parts and the nets that these people use to fish are to big to catch all the small particles. So after all, something you can help with is to recycle paper and don't throw it in the sea or in water.
