Parents and teachers can decide to become the change they need to see and make new plans with children as pollution is decreased. With the war in the Middle East and the problems faced by farmers in America, what should we expect? When children learn about the harmful effects of plastic on the environment and their health, they become more interested in keeping their surroundings clean. They are less likely to litter and pay more attention to recycling, reusing, and reducing plastic use. They develop good habits that contribute to a sustainable future on Earth. However, if they are not educated about protecting the environment and the dangers of plastic, they will follow others’ examples and continue to pollute water, soil, and air with plastic and other toxic things.
It is time for parents and teachers to help children to prepare for the green future in a great way. It is said “the future belongs to those who prepare for it.” With the current developing crisis that might lead to increased shortage of oil. Finding alternatives becomes more important as time goes by. Raising Eco Heroes will cause more of us to face the future with a smile.
Burning Plastic
Finding new ways to create plastic without using oil is more important now. Burning plastic releases toxins into the air, these toxins harm us in many ways, have you noticed the increase in the number of children who have Cancer? Added to the damage caused when we inhale toxic fumes, the toxins get into the soil in areas where plastic is burned and then it get’s into our water supply and even the food we eat will not be as healthy as before the burning of plastic took place. These are the things children need to start learning about so they will start making better decisions about the way they discard plastic waste every day.
When children are told that it is good to reuse, reduce and recycle plastic waste they might think it is not that important and nothing really serious will happen if they just keep on living in the way they have been living before. If we want a change in the way we treat plastic and the way we protect the environment we need to tell the children the important facts about the things they are doing to harm themselves and others as they pollute.

The Plastic Bottle
Since we now know that the plastic bottles we easily use and toss aside will be on earth for a long time, maybe even after we have passed on. As it can break up into small pieces they now call microplastic. The microplastic is swallowed by the fish we eat and all the toxic material used to make the plastic gets into
our stomachs and this cannot be a good thing. It is time for every individual on the planet to be aware of how important protecting the environment is so they can start doing more to reduce, reuse and recycle plastic. We can’t say we plan to live a happy and healthy life and pass on a beautiful earth to our children if we don’t decide to change what we are doing now and help our children to make better decisions when they use plastic products.
Fewer Oil Spills
The oil that is used to make plastic is transported across oceans and seas. Oil spills occur from time to time and destroy eco-systems. Reusing, reducing and recycling plastic will help to save the sea creatures that die when they are covered with oil and their homes are totally destroyed. It takes many years and a lot of work to clean up an oil spill and the effects of it will never be totally removed.
Removing Plastic From The Sea
There is now too much plastic in the seas and oceans and even though there has been more recycling taking place, the amount of plastic waste in the waters have continued to grow. It is said that we are close to having more plastic than fish in the oceans and seas now and if nothing changes this will be a reality soon.
However, young professionals are trying to find ways to remove plastic from the waters and they are having some success. However, this is a very costly affair and the money we need to do this operation could be used to help in the fight against poverty all over the world.
When you support the project that is designed to help children to be more aware of the many simple activities they can get involved in, as they do more to protect the environment. You will be fixing a huge problem by helping them to develop good habits when they are dealing with waste disposal. In a world where we are now realizing that it would be good if we had no waste to deal with, and we are moving towards that end. We need to inform the children so they can be a part of the revolution. When we educate children about protecting the environment, we are preparing them to face a future that is bright.
Let us work towards having a day when there is no plastic in the oceans or seas and our air and soil is not toxic. Mother Earth deserves much more than what we have given to her over the years. She has given us healthy food to eat, clean water to drink and so much more, but most of us have not shown our appreciation for all she has done for us, as we have generated too much waste and we have also done many things to destroy different sections of our planet. Toxic waste kills fish sometimes and marine animals die when they eat plastic and it stays in their gut and they can’t pass it out. They feel as if they are full so they don’t eat and this causes them to die after a while. If we continue like this there might be no Seafood for us to eat in the future.
Building Environmental Protection awareness among children, as we help them to understand how important it is for them to start protecting the environment is very important. When we do this we are showing them that their future matters to us, and we want to do our part in helping them to have a healthy environment to live in. We will also spend less on cleaning up the places we have already destroyed because we discarded our waste without thinking about its impact on the environment.
