Plastic pollution, millions of tons of plastic are disposed per year. This affects the marine fauna mainly because most of the plastics are thrown into our oceans where there is a huge percentage of life. We are killing hundreds of animals when we dispose of plastics improperly. In addition, plastics take hundreds of years to degrade or thousands of years depending on the plastic, so when one of us throws a plastic this will stay there for a long time. Not only aquatic animals are being affected due to plastics, we also because plastic are poisons, we are poisoning ourselves. The recycling of plastic is not the solution for this dangerous waste, we must eliminate it, but since this will be much longer and more complicated,we have to start with something and the first step will be the recycling of these.
The problem is the lack of education since they are children,this mean since they start to become aware and realize things. Where is that? in kindergarden. There are missing campaigns so that these children are recorded in the head what we are doing when we do not recycle, the animals that we are killing and everything that happens with those wastes. If it is possible for them to become aware since they were little they transmitted them to their parents and then to their children. Their children are going to transmit to their children and so on, nobody said that the problem of recycling will be solved from one day to the next but these children will be our future, and what better than that future is one in which recycling is performed?
Our proposal of solution is to go and give a class in kinder gardens with games and songs to make them understand what is happening and how they can help. Also our prototype is going to be left in the kinder garden for them to use and throw away their plastic and thus feel that they are recycling and helping. We also get drums and we will give these to decorate and take them to their homes to use them as dasbins and the idea is that these children transmit them to their parents and their friends and start recycling from young.
The prototype consists in a trash can made with plastic bottles and that can only be discarded from plastics and then recycled or reused, but will definitely not be released into the oceans and, therefore, the percentage of animals that will be reduced will be reduced. They die every day because of these plastics that are considered a dangerous waste. In addition, the bottle caps will also be reused to make the caps of the remedies, for example.
Our prototype will have a long-term effect because the problem of waste pollution can not be solved overnight, but if we all help our future generations, they will live in a country where everything is recycled and plastics are no longer there. In the oceans there will be less and less garbage, the marine fauna will be less affected by what we do but for this to happen we have to use our prototype to separate the plastics and the colored buckets to separate the other waste and when want to give a bag say NO and so make an impact.
