How a single use plastic bag can affect our environment?

How might plastic bags affect our environment? They tend to harm our

environment in serious ways such as: suffocating plants, choking sea turtles and

spreading chemicals throughout the soil.

When a plastic bag is exposed to the soil itself it sends around unpleasant

chemicals leaving the soil dead and polluted. One of the most common ways plastic

bags or plastic is known to damage the environment is when it is left on the road

where it could go down drains and travel its way through the drains to the sea.

Once it is in the sea it can do some serious harm that could affect our food chain.

Sea animals and marine creatures usually die from plastic bags as it looks like jellyfish

and as it is a choking hazard to them. Things like this is happening every minute and

it is becoming to be a daily routine in our world today.

Where might we be getting plastic bags from? The most common places you will

find plastic bags is in supermarkets, and shops in general. We use plastic bags to carry

our shopping supplies or even store things in it. In some ways they could be useful

but in reality they are the complete opposite. They are harmful and causes serious

health problems for our environment and surroundings. Did you know that it takes

over 900 years for plastic to decompose? Most places such as fast food places are

realizing the problem and places like supermarkets are starting to stop using

plastic items to sell. This could be a big jump to improvement for us.

What might be the benefits of even just a day without plastic bags? Our environment

will be clean and most of our daily problems will be fixed. So just using a material

bag or a glass cup instead of using plastic could turn this world back on track. So it is

vital that we at least try to stop relying on plastic when we could use things just as

better that not only helps us but our surroundings to.

Self and Buddy Evaluation:

This week for writing my partner and I created a self evaluation. For the self evaluation we checked each others explanation writing and then we wrote down on each others explanation about what we think our partners rubric is for each levels. We then wrote what we both thought about our own writing explanation and put in our rubric for each level. After that we went on each others explanation and filled in the Partner check were we would write about what they need to improve on and what they did good. We then wrote on our own writing explanation on self check about what we think we need to work on our own explanation and what we did good.
