Rubbish in Otautahi

 We should work on improving how we are using our bins, we should reduce what goes to our red bins and balance the other two bins. We should put recyclable plastics like plastic bottles to the right bin because when it gets into the ocean marine animals mistaken it as a food and they end up dying, plastics take about 500-600 years to break down and it also has chemicals in it. 

Researchers proven that whales, fish and other marine life that ending up to shore are cause by litter, about 8.3 million tons of rubbish are discarded in the sea yearly, also every square kilometre has more than 4 billions of microfibers. Microfibers are so small that it can even fit in fish scales.
