We want people to stop using single use plastics such as plastic water bottles and straws. Why not use a way cooler reusable water bottle instead of polluting our Earth. Using plastic straws is bad too, a cardboard straw is way better. What this does to help is it means less plastic is manufactured, meaning less factory gases going into our ozone layer making it heat up!
We have started a hashtag to get the word out about stopping the use of single use plastics, plastics are made in large factory's , the factory's use fossil fuels to run the equipment that create the plastics that we are killing our world with. Fossil fuels when burned give off extra greenhouse gases such as: CO2 and methane. Having extra greenhouse gases causes our earth to warm. Having our planet too hot can melt the ice glaciers and create huge day after day fires.
We chose a hashtag so it was easier to spread the word and for more people to use it. Hashtags are frequently used to spread awareness about global issues such as climate change, so we thought it would be the perfect way to create chatter about stopping the use of plastics on our Earth.
