What can you do to help?
Stop drinking out of plastic water botles
Plastic water bottles take a long time to break down in the ocean and you only them once.
​
Instead, use metal water bottles that you can use over and over again.

Only use recycled plastic
Really try and avoid plastic but if you have to use it then make sure it can be recycled by looking at the little symbol on there and putting it in the recycle bin.

Pick up trash and recycle
If you don't pick it up it'll eventually end up in the ocean so pick it up so it can be recycled.

Support companies trying to help
There are companies that are trying to help. For example, there's a cool company thats making pods that can hold water and be swallowed even the outside bit. Check out the video below

Another way would be to use less waterbottles! This video shows you how in the future you might be able to eat water bubbles.
