This is a little story about a very big place, a very magnificent place, its one of my favourite places, you may know it too, it’s the ocean. For a very long time the ocean has been home to many creatures, in fact for thousands of years, maybe even millions of years there has been abundant food and natural life. I have many friends in the ocean, I’m friends with some fish, some seals and some turtles, I know a turtle who is 122 years old and he has a lot of stories to tell. I even have friends who are whales, they love to tell stories too but they sing their stories in a song, their songs sometimes go on for days.
Life has been really great in the ocean until recently, some of my friends are telling me things have changed in the ocean. There is not as much food anymore and there is a lot of rubbish and plastic floating around there now. The humans on land keep on making more and more plastic and only using it once and now they’re running out of room to put it and some of it ends up in the sea. Some of my ocean friends have accidentally eaten plastic and become sick from it, some of my ocean friends have even died from eating plastic, sea creatures don’t have hands and they cant pull it out if it gets in their mouth.
I don’t know how this story will end, plastic may be around for hundreds of years, I don’t know what to do to sort out this problem.
Is there anything you can do to help the ocean? Is there anything you can do to help the creatures that live there?
