Let’s Talk About
Here we'll be explaining the many things you can do to fight plastic pollution.
Reducing : We can all reduce our plastic consumption.
Activity:
Use paper or hemp bags next time you shop, and try using non plastic substitutes. (Metal water bottles, paper or metal straws, etc)

In this activity remember to have an adult with you.
Materials:
- Soil
- A Large Plastic bottle
- Scissors or another sharp object

STEP 1: cut around the plastic bottle (make sure it's empty and have an adult do this).
STEP 2: poke tiny holes into the cap of the bottle.
STEP 3: screw the cap on the top half of the bottle.
STEP 4: fill the bottom half up with water.
STEP 5: turn the top half upside down and insert into the bottom half.
STEP 6: Fill the top up with soil.
STEP 7: Plant a seed and water it.
The Plant's roots should be growing into the bottom half with water once it's grown. Always replace the water if you see algae or fill the bottom up again with by removing the top half.
