      Interesting question James!

      There are so many ways rubbish can get into the sea.

      I don’t think people do it on purpose, I think that they are just unaware how it can get there!

      Plastic can get into the sea by the wind blowing it into a river from a landfill, or even by people using facial scrubs that contain plastic, and the plastic gets washed down the drain and into the sea!

      I think by educating the public (you and me!) about the ways we can reduce our plastic waste, we can make the ocean a cleaner, safer place for the future! We can do this by following the 3 Rs (Reduce, Reuse and Recycle)! 😀
