We learned all about how our oceans are being polluted by plastic and what we an try and do to help. Turtles can’t tell the difference between their food jellyfish, and plastic bags so end up eating plastic. Card can dissolve in water but plastic will never disappear.

Here are some tips for you at home:

• stop using plastic straws
• reuse plastic bottles
• don’t use plastic bags
• recycle plastic instead of binning it
