Hey Vette! I thought this was really interesting and insightful! The fact about 4 billion to 12 billion plastics that go into the ocean is really sad but is really insightful and shows us that we really need to solve this issue. I found this really interesting article about plastic pollution in oceans. https://oceanconservancy.org/trash-free-seas/plastics-in-the-ocean/

This was a well written response Vette. I commend you for your interest in this topic and wanting change. I liked how you gave us facts about the issue and I loved your approach on what we can do help keep our planet stay healthy. I agree with you that we should eliminate single-use plastic, it is one of the main sources that is causing thing problem and it has to stop.
