Deadly for Sea Animals
Did you know nearly 50 billion water bottles are used each year. However, only 9 percent of those are recycled. We should recycle because over one hundred million marine animals die each year do to plastic.
This video is about whales and dolphins and how long they migrate each year. There are 33 different kinds of dolphins. Whales are large marine mammals. These were some facts about these marine mammals.
Educating Others
Presenting to classrooms within our school
Students contribute constructively to project teams, assuming various roles and responsibilities to work effectively toward a common goal.

What purpose & impact will the project have?
AmazonSmile
Orca Network
Our rpSTLP team educated teachers about AmazonSmile. We encouraged them to choose the Orca Network as their charitable selection. We use a Google form to measure the impact.
Our STLP contacted our Ky State Legislators in an effort to propose a bill to modify the use of plastic straws throughout the state. Similar laws have been put into place in other states.
Sharing a Common Goal
By doing this project, we have learned the importance of recycling to save Marine animals. The impact of our project is to help Marine animals through educating others and encouraging choices that will be better for our oceans.
Reducing Plastics
Providing Assistance To Ocean Animals
This video is about a sea lion hurt and trapped in a plastic net. This is why we should stop using plastic because marine mammals are getting hurt everyday.
This women was swimming with orcas. This is interesting because most people think orcas are aggressive in the wild. However, they are not but in captivity that in not the case.
