READING COMPREHENSION 30 MINUTES

Read the text carefully.

Earth is becoming ‘Planet Plastic’

1 There are 500 times more pieces of microplastic in the sea than there are stars in our
galaxy and by 2050 it is estimated there will be more plastic than fish. US scientists have
calculated the total amount of plastic ever made and put the number at 8.3 billion tonnes. It is
an astonishing mass of material that has been created only in the last 65 years or so.
5 A BBC team filmed disturbing footage of the devastating impact plastic pollution is
having on seabirds in the Tasman Sea, which is between Australia and New Zealand. The film
crew was working on the remote Lord Howe Island for a
new wildlife documentary called “Drowning in Plastic”.
They filmed many birds that died because their stomachs
10 were literally too full of plastic to be able to eat any food.
The birds starved to death because there was no room in
their stomachs for food. The documentary team filmed
marine biologists working on the island to try and save the birds. The scientists captured
hundreds of chicks and physically removed plastic from their stomachs to give them a chance
15 of survival.
Marine biologist Jennifer Lavers explained what was happening to the birds. She said
the birds were predators that will eat anything. She said: “When you put plastic in the ocean,
it means they have no ability to detect plastic from non-plastic, so they eat it.” Adult birds feed
the plastic to their chicks, oblivious to what they are feeding them. Professor Lavers lamented
20 that most of the plastic is “entirely preventable”. She said: “We find plastic clothes pegs and
plastic toothbrushes. Those could easily be swapped out for other materials – aluminium or
wood. My own toothbrush is made of bamboo.” TV presenter Liz Bonnin said: “We saw... 90
pieces of plastic come out of one of the chicks.”
