Plastics, Greenhouse gases and Sustainability

Plastics and greenhouse gases have a negative effect on the earth because plastics will photo degrade in the ocean and become really small pieces. These small plastic pices can't be cleaned up because they are to small and there are huge areas of plastic pices. The heat from the greenhouse gases will make different weather changes the polution from plastics will also contribute to the heat.

Plastics find there way to the ocean because we do not recycle and even if we do recycle wind will still take the plastics away and into the water and there the plastics breakdown into small pices because of the photodegading. The marine life will suffer because of the plastics in the water and some marine life will learn to adapt to the changes in the water but the polution will still harm the life.

Humans made the green house gas effect that keeps the heat from leaving the earth like a big blanket. But this blanket reaches around the earth and is in the air we breath and our atmosphere. The greenhouse effect started around the industrial revolution and was maid known for some time later.

Plastics are not good for sustainability because it can break down in the sun and can be harmful to animals because we are not recycling. Green house gases are issues for sustainability because the climate will change and that makes people worry that flooding will happen because the polar ice caps will melt. And the worst part humans created the greenhouse effect so heat can't leave the earth and is instead recycled over and over again.
We need to do better at recycling. 
The green house gas effect is like this a blanket
