Great Pacific Garbage Patch - Social Studies

In our lesson in social studies, we are learning 'How to understand people's management of resources impacts on environmental and societal sustainability. Within this topic, we learnt about important details such as the "Great Pacific Garbage Patch", when it occured, how it occred, how much garbage are there in the ocean, its effects on the human and marine life, what are the movements created in order to reduce the garbage dumped in the ocean, etc. We also had an activity where we comprehend about the causes and effects of the environmental crisis. After brainstorming about the causes and effects, we had to list them down. 

Due to the usage of plastics that have increased throughout the history, there has been continous damage in our natural resources. The more this goes on, we will lose the only place where we can live. 

If we are able to reduce the use of plastics, we decrease the pollution such as gas emissions. When we reduce pollution, our natural resources won't stop to produce more oxygen and energy.
