Challenge 1

Following Christmas, Britain sees a significant increase in the use of plastics which have a big impact on our environment and global warming.

Create an under the sea display using plastic waste from around your house.  You could also make a jelly fish, crab and fish from plastics and other wastes.  Make a display explaining the impacts of plastic waste on the oceans.

Facts about Plastic

• On a yearly basis, around 8 million metric tons of plastic ends up in our oceans, seas and rivers.
• It takes approximately 450 years for the ocean to break down man-made plastic items.
• “Microplastics” – A smaller piece of plastic. These microplastics have now made their way into our diets through the sea food we consume.
• 100 million marine animals die every year from plastics invading their homes.
• By the year 2050 there will be more plastic in the ocean than fish.
