Plastic Earth

Plastic Earth

            The art project I created is a representation of our planet Earth. I used a clear plastic bag with a blue construction paper background because it represented the ocean. I used a white plastic bag in a special shape because it represented the U.S. The message of my project is to say that plastic is everywhere. Almost everything we use is plastic. Our planet is polluted with plastics. Since plastic is not biodegradable, plastic will never break down. This is causing problems in the ocean because animals such as turtles, seagulls, and fish are eating the plastic thinking that it is food. We should talk action into recycling the plastic and cleaning up after ourselves. Another way we can help is by throwing away the plastics into trash can and not letting it flow into the ocean. The choices we make today will shape our world tomorrow.
