Plastic waste (Plastik im Abfall)

Teaser:

Plastic is very resistant and difficult to dispose of. Usually it takes 450 years until it has decomposed into partially toxic chemicals. These get into the water and so into the entire food chain. Every year, 300 million tonnes of plastic are produced.

For example, the fish eats the plastic and later we eat these fish.

 

Quiz question:

How many percent of the plastic produced each year ends up directly in the ocean?

 

Vocabulary:

toxic chemicals - giftige Chemikalien

decomposed - zersetzt
