Hey Gabby,
I learned a lot looking at presentation. Like I learned that there is a garbage patch twice the size of Texas that stretches form Hawaii to Japan. Also that 10% of plastic ends up in the ocean. Lastly I learned that it destroys marine life and ends up in us because we eat the fish. I found recycling very interesting because a lot of people don't recycle. And that clearing out small parts can help a lot. I would also like to learn more about what we kids can do to help.
