In today's world there is a very big issue, garbage. there's garbage everywhere and there is nowhere to put it so we need to recycle. My 9th-grade class walked around Canarsie and a beach to do a street and beach clean up and we found a lot of waste such as cigarette buds, beverage bottles, food packaging, etc. We did this to collect data and to see which is worse the street or beach. Thanks to the data we collected, we know that the streets have more waste than the beach because the street is more broad and because the beach isn’t used by many people after summer. We found ways to reuse the garbage, we also realized that people don’t recycle properly and we can’t dump our trash anywhere because then we will be overwhelmed with it and it could do more than contaminate our air.

I noticed that beverage bottles are everywhere so they are a threat to this planet. The beverage bottles break down into infinitesimal pieces, but the plastic can not be digested or transferred by most species. Instead it fills up their intestinal tract and they die the worst way possible, a slowly extremely painful death. Plastic objects such as bags and straws are becoming a threat to. Sometimes turtles get straws stuck in their nostrils,and mistake plastic bags for jellyfish and eat them which causes blockage within their digestive system and will eventually lead to death.

If I was a zoologist my main concern would be to keep the waste away from animals. Zoology is the study of animals and their behavior. Zoologists may study a particular group of animals, in the wild or in a place like a zoo. Zoologists study animals and their interactions with ecosystems. They study their physical characteristics, and the impacts humans have on them.

Another scientist that could help is A hydrologist because they study water and they can help keep waste out of the water keeping sea animals safe. Another concern would be to keep waste away from animals because waste ends up in the water. Animals could become endangered or extinct because of the trash if animals die then there will be no meat for us to eat, Animals contribute a lot to humans lives. They serve humans for food, clothing, medicine and even for economic needs. If plastic bags continue to get in water then turtles will continue to try and eat them and continue to die. When plastic litter drifts out to sea, animals like dolphins may ingest the plastic. Animals can’t break down plastic in their digestive system and will usually die from the obstruction. Pieces of plastic can also get tangled around animals' bodies or heads and cause injury or death.

One way to solve this problem is to do the three R's, reduce, reuse, recycle if we do this fewer animals will die. Use reusable bags while shopping. If we do this then we will reduce the plastic bags that end up in the water and streets. Another way is to stop the problem at the source, stop buying plastic water bottles, stop relying on plastic bags.
