If I could go back in time, I would stop the discovery of plastic because plastic goes into rubbish bins way too often, which takes them to a rubbish dump. When water molecules get into the plastic, it creates a harmful liquid called leachate which will pollute soil then ground water and then it could travel into a lake or pond and harm or kill whatever is living in it. Also if plastic is just left on the ground it might get swept up with the wind and land in the ocean or a river that might flow into the ocean. Once it is in the ocean a sea animal might mistake it for food. Once the animal has eaten the plastic it will feel full and will not eat. Now it will starve to death. So plastic is killing animals. Plastic can be useful to put stuff in and it is waterproof. It is also very light but we can use other things to put stuff in and there is other things that are waterproof also there are probably other waterproof materials in the making.

If we took all the plastic away from the sea it would be benicicial and a happier place because when sea animals eat the plastic they cannot digest it so the plastic gets stuck in side them which can choke and kill them. Other sea birds like sea gulls can get tangled up In the mess which is another good reason why we should eliminate rubbish from the ocean. Some of the consequences are where would we put all the rubbish because, really, if you think about it there really isn't much choices, but if we put them on rubbish islands, the rubbish population would keep on growing, and then where would we put the rubbish? All the sea creatures that live on the ground like starfish, those animals will have set up a little area and if we drag nets along the seabed trying to get the rubbish, we will ruin all their small homes.
