Toxic story


It’s not our problem,

Our oceans are covered with plastic,

that we created an island called

“The great pacific garbage patch”,

that Midway animal is eating our garbage,

That 640,000 tons of plastic fishing nets are increasing

in our oceans every second.

Plastic is a toxic story,

PAH,

PCB,

And

DDT,

Cause us harm and to all animals.

Companies covering lies

and all the harm.

“Without your permission you were polluted.”

There is no hope

even recycling can’t save us

from a product that was created to be here forever

and

design to be used once.

Plastic is not evil

How much we use it,

How much we make, and

How we get rid of

that makes all the difference

Let’s change it or will be too late

our habitats that support all life could be lost forever

Yet

It’s so hard to change

If we use a product

that is in the hands of darkness

It’s our weakness,

but

No matter what happens

Make them listen

A revolution

is about to happen

because it is

What makes us more than anything,

We can have all the stars,

but our planet is one on its own.
