A Sea of Plastic
It’s no secret that our planet is suffering because of pollution. But did you know that there are nearly 270,000 tons
of plastic floating in the world’s oceans? In one part of the ocean, there is so much plastic that people call the area
the Great Pacific Garbage Patch. What is especially worrying is that this plastic doesn’t break down. Instead, it
breaks up into very small pieces. All this plastic is very dangerous for the creatures living in the ocean. The tiny
pieces of plastic contain chemicals that affect the sea’s food chain. Small fish eat the tiny pieces of plastic and the
chemicals stay in their bodies. Then, bigger fish eat them and the chemicals pass up the food chain, eventually
reaching our tables as well. Luckily, there are things we can do to try and solve the problem. First of all, we can use
less plastic and recycle it instead of throwing it away. We can also support conservation groups who are working to
clean up polluted beaches. If everyone works together, we can protect our oceans – and marine life.

 TEST 6A

1. Let the sunshine in! Natural light can save you money – Drawback the curtains and
pull up the blinds to let natural light in and let the warmth from the sun help heat
your home. Be sure to close them at night to keep the heat in.

2. Cook with small appliances – Use your slow cooker, microwave, air fryer, toaster
oven, or other small cooking appliances whenever possible. These devices use less
energy and often cook faster than your stove top or conventional oven.

3.Wash clothes in cold water – Water heating accounts up to 90% of the energy your
washer uses. Wash clothes in cold water and hang on the clothesline if the weather
is good.
