All the plastic rubbish in the world is killing birds and sea animals.

How can we solve the problem of to much plastic rubbish in the ocean?

One thing we can do to solve the problem is to use cotton bags
instead of plastic bags.
That stops plastic bags going to the ocean.

Another thing we can do to solve the problem is to send plastic to a
recycling center the plastic at the recycling center goes to a factory that
will make clothes, shoes, furniture and other stuff out of plastic rubbish.

Lastly we can solve the problem by using reusable containers instead
of plastic packaging.

So in conclusion there is a bad plastic pollution problem but the good
news is that people are trying to solve the problem so that the world can
be a better place.
