If we can mistake plastic for plants, what do sea animals mistake it for? Sea turtles and other marine creatures mistake plastics and other garbage as food (such as jellyfish) and ingest it. This mistake causes blockages within their digestive system and eventual death.

Help Reduce Plastic Waste!

St. Monica School Gzira has joined the Litter Less Campaign, and to help reduce plastic bottles at school, YRE members sold reusable plastic bottles at a very cheap price, which can be filled using the water dispenser at the school. It all started when people noticed that lots of children were bringing new plastic bottles every day, and sometimes not even recycling them properly. Another initiative that the school has taken is to encourage students to bring their lunches in reusable boxes, instead of plastic bags. If every student in the school follows this advice, the school would have saved up to 100,000 plastic bags in a whole scholastic year. This goes to show that small actions can make a huge difference. To help reduce plastic waste, each one of us needs to take action, and find ways how the use of plastic can be reduced in our everyday life.
