Our oceans and water animals




One of our worst waste places is our oceans. Over half of our oceans are filled with trash.  We need to save these animals.  One of the animals that is most in danger of becoming extinct because of this is the sea turtle.  Their favorite prey is jellyfish.  When they see bags, they think they are jellyfish and eat them.  If they eat too many, they die.  And that is why this animal is endangered. We need to clean up our oceans.

Recycling



We all know what recycling is.  Overall, we do a pretty good job of it.  But we can really do better.  Maybe even make a contest of who recycles the most.  Help Mother Nature.

Waste

Over 75% of our trash is reusable but we only recycle about 30% of it.

We waste about 21.5 million tons of food each year.

We waste enough food to fill Lane Stadium two times each day.
