Animated Bibliograpy

I used this website to help me understand more about the Great Pacific Garbage Patch. It helped me understand the amount of unwanted biodegradable plastic in the ocean. Only a few weeks ago did I first hear about this garbage patch. This was the first out of four websites that I looked up to research the Great Pacific Garbage Patch and I was amazed. How can so much garbage be in the ocean and were still not doing anything about it? I used a lot of useful information from the website in my presentation.

The website shown above helped me understand even more about the Great Pacific Garbage Patch. It also showed me how much pollution there is in the ocean. Its intoxicating the water and rapidly killing variates of marine life. Animals will eat this plastic and then, since it is biodegradable, it does not digest. It gets stuck in the animals stomachs and they can end up dying. I used this information in my presentation to help explain how bad this ocean pollution is coming and how it is rapidly getting worse.

This website helped me really understand how terrifying this subject really is. There is a huge garbage dump moving around in the middle of the Pacific Ocean and no one is doing anything. Organizations need to be started and plans need to be made. People need to start figuring out a way to fix this problem or else we all could end up dying from over pollution. I used this website in my presentation to help people understand that we really need to fix this issue and we really need to find a solution soon.

For the last website I just simply looked to find extra information about the subject matter. I didn't find out anything different, i just found out that this is a very serious matter. We all need to throw in a hand to get this situation under control. We need to find a new way to recycle instead of littering and throwing it all in the ocean. We need to find a new place to put garbage besides burying it inside of the Earth or laying it all in the ocean. I used this website so i could explain in my presentation the subject and what we need to do. I also used these websites of my worst/best-case scenario.
