bea kids vs plastic leader challenge 2021

 nearly nine million tons (8.1 million t) of  plastic enter the ocean each year.That's the  equivalent of unloading a dump truck of plastic  into the ocean  every minute  help keep habitats healthy for humans and animals by participating  in this year kids vs. plastic  Almanac challenge.plastic water bottles straws and bag might be part of your everyday  life. They're  called single use  plastics because you use them once then throw them away. but that plastic doesn't disappear when you're  done with it most  of it ends up in the ocean where it can entangle animals or maker them sick. National geographic explorer  are working hard to raise awareness  and solve this plastics problem check out what one explorer is doing to reduce single use  plastic  is doing single use plastic in here own family and around the world. meet national geographic explorer and  plastic waster activist  Jenna Jambeck  an award winning explore and environmental  engineer Janne Jambeck is working hard to reduce  the amount of plastic piling up in the ocean and  on land. Here jambeck shares how she got her start in this field of science and how you can get involved too. what inspired you to care about the amount fo plastics in the environment  I grew up in town of less than 3,000 people in Minnesota u.s.a. where there was no trash collection. we had to take  our trash to the landfill ourselves  so I saw what everyone threw  away and became fascinated with it. plus I've always  loved the ocean. when i first  heard  about our waste ending up in the ocean i knew we doing sometime  wrong on land than became dedicated to protecting the seas. what are you  working on now as a co leader for the sea to source plastic expeditions for national geographic we are trying to better understand how waste movie from land into our waterways especially rivers that  can lead into  the ocean Having  grown up on a river this is especially  important to me I'm  also looking at how natural disasters contribute to  the plastic pollution problem. why is this issue so impotent The statistics are pretty scary the  amount of plastic produced around the world  over the past 60 years is equivalent to the weight of 80 blue whales. A lot of that because waste but only 9 percent of in our environment of waste is recycled. The  rest end up in landfills or in our environment it litters our ocean and our shores and animals ingest and get entangled in the plastic. so how can kids help to reduce the  amount of  plastic they use at home to start pay attention  to the plastic items you use are they all useful can you imagine ra different way to get the some or simple  food or drink without  the packaging can you reuse it. Any  other ways kids can get involved  There are many ways to make a collective difference start start clubs and groups with friends to communicate your massage  about plastic do research to empower  yourself about  topic then  communicate it to others  you can also tap into Marine Debris tracker (marindebris engr  edu) which is a great tool for collecting data on what  leaking out into environment  you can create map of what  you find in your neighborhood doesn't have  to be anywhere near water or to ocean  and in your area  It an easy way to make a big difference. from called national geographic  kids almanac.
