  • Plastic and Water

    "In my opinion the issue about plastic and water is a really big problem to our health and environment. about 8 million plastic items is being wasted, which could really effect and impact our health, the environment, the waterways etc. the more plastic pollution is being produced the more it could impact our lives. Most of the plastic that is being wasted is mainly effecting our waterways (oceans, lakes etc) and is harming our marine animals and important wild life elements in the water that could help the environment. These chemicals can accumulate in body tissues and have serious lethal effects on our immune system, and hormone balance. Floating plastic debris can produce ulcers, infections and lead to death. Marine plastic pollution can even reach birds that have never been at the sea. in conclusion Plastic causes pollution which is very dangerous to our environment and health."

  • Sea The Damage

    This piece is a mural created by students from the Aitkenhead Primary School, located in North Lanarkshire. These children used plastic bottles as the medium to create 3D models of fish and filled the bottles with plastic straws to illustrate the microplastics that the fish consume from pollution. The “SEA THE DAMAGE” and the tearful eye is created with plastic bottle caps to further emphasize the need for change in oceanic life.
