My Best Friend (Planet or Plastic)

(500 WORD NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC CHALLENGE)

Over the last ten years, we have produced more plastic than during the whole of the last century. 46 percent of the plastics float and it can drift for years before eventually concentrating in the ocean gyres. So what happens to that 46 percent of plastic?

It ends up in the ocean.
It ends up with the sea animals.
And they die.
