Have you been throwing plastic bags in the countryside? I don’t think that is very nice, so please stop this act of using single-use plastic. Single-use plastic is a type of plastic that is only used once and thrown away. Examples of single-use plastic are straws, plastic bottles, plastic bags, micro beads and Styrofoam. When they are thrown away, only about 7% is recycled. The rest is thrown in the seas. In the Pacific Ocean, there are currents that throw the plastic into certain places. These are called plastic soups and they look like actual land though they are right above the surface of the sea.
