Merit's Green Birthday Party

Merit turned 9! YAY! We tried to have an enviromentally friendly party :). No disposable cups or plates. We used reusable plates cuos and silverware...She had a fantastic time with her "70's" retro water party and we were green too...I'll post pictures later!

Why is plastic in the ocean harmful?

Why is plastic in the ocean harmful?
There are 5 main issues surrounding plastic entering the ocean, explained in detail below this list: 1. Plastic can build up inside an animals system upon ingestion.
2. The chemicals, like BPAs, on plastic are transferred to the animal’s tissue and lead to bioaccumulation.
3. Persistent Organic Pollutants (POPs) already in the water become attached to the plastic pieces and add to the unnatural chemicals being digested and absorbed.
4. Organisms large and small attach onto the abundant plastic and are transported to places they couldn’t otherwise get to.
5. Animals may become entangled or trapped in larger debris.

1. Because plastic confetti pieces are so small, they resemble the organisms at the base of the food chain: zooplankton and phytoplankton.  These small pieces get eaten by small fish, and larger pieces of marine debris are eaten by seabirds.  There are two major reasons why this is a problem.  First, plastic is difficult to digest, and may build up in their system.  The animal then never becomes hungry and will starve. 

2. Second, plastic is created with certain chemicals in its structure.  Because chemicals such as BPAs are pollutants, scientists are studying their effects on the marine environment.  The pollutants leach out into the water and tissues of organisms. This may have adverse effects on the water chemistry, all marine life, and everything that consumes marine life- including us.
