Plastic waste

Plastic waste is when we use too much plastic and don't dispose of it properly - this can lead to a big mess! Plastic is a material that is made from something called petroleum, which is an oil that comes from the ground. It's really useful because it can be made into all sorts of things like toys, cups, and even clothes!

However, when we use too much plastic and don't put it in the right place, it can cause problems. Plastic doesn't break down like other materials, so it sticks around for a long time. This causes pollution and can damage our environment.

Imagine you're outside playing with your toys and you have a lot of litter around you. If you don't pick up your toys and put them away when you're done, they'll get lost or damaged. The same thing happens with plastic waste - if we don't pick it up and put it in the right place, it can damage the planet we live on.

So, it's important to remember to use less plastic in our daily lives and put it in the right place when we're done with it. We can recycle it so that it can be turned into something new and useful again!
