Recyling
Issues and problems it causes.
Affects sea creatures
Kills sea creatures
Sea creatures began to get sick.
Some are unable to move; dying days/hours later
Most sea life would go extinct.
Some animals such as herbivores would assume its Alge.
Carnivores and omnivores would drink from the oil/chemical water, getting sick overtime.
Affects the environment
We lose resources and energy sources.
Harm wildlife by exposing them to waste and pollution
it can use more resources such as, fossil fuels, which increase greenhouse gases.
Contributes to climate change, affecting the weather, biodiversity, and food security. Damaging the ecosystem
creates problems with landfills
Affects the water.
Due to bacteria within the plastic, it affects the water slowly.
Oil spills.
Affects the quality.
Disrupt food-web/chain. Which causes the Trophic levels to be out of order.
Plastic will rise.
Affects humans, giving diseases.
Chemical waste
Humans are the main producers.
Due to the infected water, it affects plants/autotrophs/heterotrophs as well as kills them.
More information
Only 77% of all drink's bottles are recycled.
Clear plastic is more valuable than
UK households throw away around 40kg plastic each year
It takes over 100 years for shopping bags to decompose.
Uses we gain if we recycle.
Landfills would shrink tremendously
Reduces our need to use virgin materials and save the energy to extract and process them.
World would be cleaner, and easier to get resources
Able to recycle plants
Sea creature life would thrive.
Plants would drink from cleaner water, same goes for animals/humans
Animals would be healthy. As for humans. Not going extinct.
Our clean water percentage might possibly rise.
Ways to fix it
Continue to Recycle
Buy recycled products
Rinse out bottles/cans before recycling.
Home
Recycle plastic
Use recyclable napkins/utensils.
Have recycled bins around the house.
Reuse products if able to
Maximize space by breaking down materials.
Buying from waste food shops
Store items in jars instead of plastic ones
Reduce reliance on single-use plastics and single-use everything.
