Willow's Worry
Willow was a whale
As happy as could be
She loved to play with his family
In the icy, deep blue sea
She would hide in the coral
And swim with the fish
Her life was a smile
Please last forever, at least that was Her wish
Willow was a whale
She went swimming in the sea
But something was strange
And not as it should be
She swam deeper and deeper and gasped at the sight
The beautiful bright coral had turned all white
This is not good thought Willow annoyed
All my fish-friends homes are destroyed
There was only some colour left in the reef
The rest has began to fade
None of the fish will ever survive
Now Willow was getting afraid
I wonder what has happened Willow said
Maybe I’ll go play somewhere else instead
So off She went to go and have some fun
But there was no fish around, not even one
Where have all my friends gone? They’ve all disappeared
and they’ve all been replaced with something very weird
Willow was surrounded by all sorts of plastic
Bottles, bags, and so much more, what has happened? this is drastic
That evening Willow went home
And talked to her mum about what she'd seen
We need to do something NOW
To get the oceans clean
You should talk to Felix, your fish-friend
Make sure he’s fine, and maybe he knows
This is what Mum said and maybe she's right
Felix will help, Willow said in a doze
So the next morning Willow was away
She passed the white coral that filled him with dismay
And the lifeless lands of plastic
It was all very tragic
She closed her eyes and swam even quicker
Where had Felix gone? Her stomach starting to flicker
Her worried shouts echoed over the land
It was then she heard a small voice underneath him in the sand
I'm here and i'm fine you don't need to worry
Willow sighed in relief ,and floated down in a hurry
She talked and talked about the problems she faced
About the dying coral and the hundreds of waste
I know I know but it's not up to us
Felix kept saying, as we discussed
Here is what she told me (And it's not in Rhyme)
There is too much information, and not enough time
“It's the humans Willow, and they're nasty rubbish. They are ruining our homes and killing my family. And there is nothing we can do but stay alive, it's now up to them to free our seas. We are all being tricked into eating that plastic, and our homes are turning as white as the clouds. We NEED THEM TO STOP NOW!”
“So what can they do to stop this problem?” Willow had asked.
“Many things and here are some.
Always use reusable items, like reusable shopping bags and water bottles.
Find plastics you no longer need and dispose of them properly.
Pick up any rubbish you see when visiting parks or beaches.
And this ones simple- Make a habit of saying “No straw please and I brought my own cup thanks.”
So any human reading these words
Listen to Willow and Felix and ACT NOW!

There’s a monster chasing me
There’s a monster chasing me said Sloppy Joes
He’s green and he has no fingers or toes
There’s loads of monsters surrounding me everywhere
There all different colours some here some there
They don’t walk or swim
Some of them are wide and some are slim
There’s a monster chasing me there turning our sea bad
Filling it with monsters making our earth sad
There’s a monster chasing me and my home is now white
There’s no fish and no shines of light
These monsters are bobbing up and down
More comes it looks like our sea might drown
Our homes are being destroyed more fish are gone
More and more as the days go on
There’s a monster chasing me I don’t know what to do
I'm becoming quite hopeless I’m feeling quite blue
2030 are seas are destroyed
There’s monsters everywhere I can not avoid
There’s a monster chasing me all my friends are food
Nothing in particular is going good
Our future could change and so could our past
Listen to people's ideas It needs to be done fast
There’s a monster chasing me there’s loads of solutions
This is what we call our world’s pollution
There’s a monster chasing we could start here
Start by exploring our sea or it will all disappear
Also we could start leaving nothing behind
You don’t know what we might find
One more could be demand less plastic use
There’s nothing to loose
There’s a monster chasing me our future could be clear
There’s nothing be afraid of hold no fear

Tiny Tim
There's a turtle in my bathtub, and I don't know what to do
He squeaks at my bottles and he's looking very blue
Can rings on his shell
Hes obviously very unwell
I gave him my hand and he bit my finger
I guess he didn't like when people linger
He slid down the bath right to the bottom
He slid right down just before i caught em
He slid from side to side
In a rather speedy glide
He told his story about the seas
And how there slowly losing their breeze
I took tiny tim to my room
But for some reason he still looked doomed
I got to work drawing a poster
Meanwhile tims sitting on my shoulder
Writing about the things that changed
Nothings been arranged
Meanwhile this disaster is growing
So I Tell everyone to get going
Picking up plastic of the ground
And making sure its not drowned
Instead of plastic use a paper straw
And i will make sure that this is a law
I will make sure that tim will be free
With his mum in the deep blue sea

The turtles are in Danger
There were 2 little turtles called Squirtle and Bubble. Squirtle and Bubble were swimming in the ocean living their lives, until one day everything started to change.There was rubbish, trash and there were hundreds of dead fish. Along with sea animals all wrapped in plastic, The coral was losing its color and was turning white. Squirtle and Bubble swam away from all the plastic but they got caught in a fishing net and got taken away from their home, they tried and tried to get out of the net but they couldn’t so they eventually gave up. Then they saw they reached a part of land and the fisherman got them out and saw the sparkle fear in their eyes as he grabbed a sharp knife for the drawer and proceeded to cook them.
If you want to help.
If you want to help save the sea animals then you should:
Pick up trash in your neighborhood and when visiting the park or beaches (because that's where most animals are died because of plastic)
Find the plastics you no longer need and dispose of them properly. If you can, replace them with long-lasting options.
Always choose quality and durability over convenience. Single- use bags,cups and other products usually cost you more in the long term- and definitely cost our planet.
Reduce your own plastic waste. Start by using the “Plastic calculator” to track how much you use - then you can take steps to reduce your use and waste.
