Garbage tripTrash from the street goes

into the drains…

Then goes out

to the bay

Trash then end up into the Ocean

How does this affect us?Our trash goes to the

ocean

The sun breaks down plastics into tinier pieces

It gets eaten by jellyfish and smaller

life forms

Bigger fish eat those

Eventually we eat those fish and the plastic as well
