The Problem
We hope that through the project we can spread more awareness about the impact of plastic pollution on our community and local ecosystems. We learned about the impact of plastic pollution in our school and community, and learned all about the Great Pacific Garbage Patch. In addition, we learned all about how most plastics in the US are not being recycled, and instead thrown out in the landfill or into the ocean. We wanted to take action on these issues by reusing or repurposing these wasteful plastic products into new, useful items to help alleviate the amount of plastic that is going to the landfills.
