- - - - stretched Teflon
      - incredibly durable
    - - Made from a chemical known as Polyvinyl chloride or “PVC”, the same used to create music records
  - - - 260° C
        
        no melting point
    - - 218° C
        
        no melting point
    - - 300° C
        
        no melting point
    - - 105° C
        
        melting point: 154° C
- - - - oil spills can be very harmful to marine birds, sea turtles and mammals, and also can harm fish and shellfish
      - spilled oil floats on the water surface. It spreads out and is pushed across the water by wind and currents
      - Oil from vehicles on the road wash off and trickle into the ocean and boats sometimes spill oil directly into the water
    - - It’s estimated that by the year 2050, there will be more plastic in the ocean than fish (by weight)
      - 40% of the oceans are badly affected by pollution and an estimate of 14 billion pounds of trash, mainly plastic, is being dumped in the oceans every year
      - Plastic takes 400 years to decompose
    - - The EPA estimates that 10-20% of septic systems fail at some point in their operational lifetimes
      - pollution comes from soaps and detergents, human wastewater, and solid sludge
      - Sometimes our sewer and septic systems don’t operate properly or do not remove enough nitrogen and phosphorus before discharging our grey water into the waterways
    - - Carbon dioxide is produced by burning fossil fuels, and as the atmospheric concentration of CO2 gas increases
      - oceans are becoming more acidic
      - change in the pH of ocean water has disastrous effects on corals and shellfish
- - - - Wishes to improve the ocean pollution problem
      - Needs a solution that is effective and low cost
    - - Regulations for factories that disposal of waste into the ocean
      - Do not want to get penalised so they would follow the law and search for a solution in solving the problem
    - - Setting restrictions on cleaning ocean pollution
      - Providing technology for improving water quality
- - - - Solar energy
        
        Solar panels
      - Battery stations
      - Wind energy
      - Kinetic energy harvesting
