Oceans Presentation 🐳 ~ please comment
Primary classes at Nelson were fortunate to have a viewing of the movie A Plastic Ocean this week. It showed us the environmental impact of all of the plastic we use and throw away everyday.
Division 8, what can you do to help with the problem of plastic waste polluting our oceans?
Each of us can make a difference and an impact on those around us.
(parents, this powerful documentary is available on Netflix)
I never use plastic single use bottles of water and I will not use plastic bags when I buy groceries at the store. What is your promise to our oceans?
