Making a Change

In Kakapo we have been talking about sustainability and how company's can change there packages and become plastic 
free.In the class we have been reading two text about 
taking action and where to next.When we were reading these two text it gave us determination to do something about the debris in the water.Example our teacher was showing us a example about using cardboard and plastic if people started using cardboard instead the other product (plastic) will not sell so they would have to change and  use cardboard,reusable bags and more.The great garbage patch is 1.6 million square kilometres long.That makes it twice bigger than Texas.Also the plastic in the water is effecting all the animals that live in there and it takes a long time for the different plastic to break down.So make a change for the whole world and make a change.
