People are not looking after the ocean.  Stevie-Lee

They are throwing rubbish all around everywhere.  Remz

Animals are dying because they are eating rubbish.  Jaz

Turtles can die by plastic because they think it is jellyfish.  Vintcent

People are leaving bags behind and are not putting them in the rubbish.  Jack

If this carries on, people won’t be able to go fishing.  Dylan

They drop their rubbish when they go to the beach.  Jaziah

Rubbish flies around and then it goes down the drains and into the river.  The river goes to the beach and then the sea and out to the ocean.  Jade

Rubbish is floating into the sea.  Brayden

It’s safe to eat fish now.  But if we keep doing what we are doing, the fish will die.  Vintcent

There will be no healthy food to eat.  Hemi

What do we want to know?

Why do people not pick up the rubbish when they see it?  Dylan

What if the animals have no teeth, how do they eat the rubbish?  Sammy

What happens if the animals eat the rubbish, but they don’t die?  What happens to them?  Ali

Why do the turtles think plastic is jellyfish?  Dylan

Why are people leaving their rubbish on the beaches and everywhere else?  Jaz

If people know about it, why don’t people go to the ocean and get the turtles that are very sick and help them live?  Ali

How does the rubbish get past the waves?  Dechlan

Where does the rubbish go if it doesn’t go to the ocean?  Dylan

Why do people put rubbish on the ground if they know it is bad for animals and they can die?  Ali

Why are the turtles not smart enough so that they don’t eat plastic?  Vintcent

Some wonderful wonderful thinking happening in Team Toru... some very clever questions too!
