An ocean of rubbish

Rewritten by : Arismartie Nowadays, there is a growing problem with so many factories making disposable toothbrushes, pens, cans, bottles and wrappings which have led to an increase in the rubbish we throw away. 1-Factory→a place that have machines for manufacturing things. 2-disposable(adj)→throw away after use. 3-wrappings→thin paper or plastic used to cover or enclose something.

You may think that rubbish is everywhere. Well, you're right. A scary example of this is the 'Great Pacific Garbage Patch' which was first discovered by scientists in the 1980s. It is an area of floating rubbish in the Pacific Ocean that is nearly the same size as Germany. There are many kinds of rubbish in the Garbage Patch, but plastic bottles and bags, and other things made of plastic cause the biggest problem.

'But what's the problem, then?'. First, plastic bottles and bags may take hundreds or maybe even thousands of years to break down. Second, plastic is made from chemicals. As the plastic break down over time, chemicals enters the water then it finds its way into the fish that live in the water. These chemicals can make the fish ill, resulting in making the people who eat the fish ill as well. So, what we can do? There are many things we can do! We can clean up our oceans, we can stop making so many things from plastic, and we can recycle more. The important thing is to do something. Recycle: to reuse
