As you know, the climate is now changing..
Why? Because of humans destroying the earth..
How? By cutting down trees, throwing and not recycling etc..
How to change? Recycle!! Especially plastics..
You know how long does it takes plastics to rot?
Either a very very long time or not rotting..
What does rubbish create?
something really scary.. you should go see it..
