Now that the school year has ended all of us will start going to the beach. It is important to remember to keep our beaches clean and think of all the sea animals that get sick from all the plastic and litter we leave on the beaches.

The National Geographic for Kids offers various resources in teaching children about plastic pollution.

Here is also a Powerpoint called “Is Plastic Fantastic?”, where it shows the damage plastic has caused and is dedicated to all sea life

Lastly it was a wonderful experience teaching you this semester, even though we did not meet physically, the online learning experience was still fruitful. I will miss teaching all of you!!

Just remember to sanitise and wash your hands, wear a mask and stay safe 🙂
