Problem: What was your initial perception of plastic pollution in the oceans, and how has it changed after learning more about the topic and watching the film "Plastic Paradise"? Reflect on your personal consumption of single-use plastics. What are some specific actions you can take to reduce your plastic footprint? How do you view the responsibilities of governments, industries, and individuals in solving the problem of marine plastic pollution? What can be done to solve the plastic pollution or at least, what can be done to not make plastic pollution worse? For one day this week keep a list of all the items you use that are plastic. Pay special attention to using single-use plastics (plastics that are only used once before they are thrown away or recycled). To earn the 10 points: Share your list with at least 12 items For two items come up with an alternative or replacement for the plastic. The "like" feature is enabled for this discussion. Check out your peers' list and alternative and feel free to "like" and engage in other postings.
