France - the story of "Botilda, the plastic bottle"

Botilda - Group 1

by Serge

• The bottle crosses along the rivers. It approaches the sea. The bottle ends up in the sea. It approaches a mountain of waste. The bottle turns around. There are a lot of areas where there are mountains of waste. Wastes pollute waters. Waste decomposes in water. They are dispersed in water. The fish absorbs waste. We don't really understand.
• All the waste must be recycled because they can damage the life of marine animals, they can cause damage to the skin of humans: in brief all waste deserves a new life

by Mohamed

• Botilda is in a river. It crosses the river, goes to the other waste in the sea which forms a thick layer of waste. There’s a lot of garbage in the sea. In every corner of the continents there is waste in the water. This huge amount of waste is floating in the sea. The waste is decomposing. The decomposition of the waste is spreading into the sea. The fish feed on decomposed waste streams in the sea. The fish that eat garbage and the fish is eaten by humans.
• To conclude, wastes thrown by man into the sea, create viruses and pollute the planet. This impacts the climate’s global warming; we have seen that the fish that eats the waste is found in the plates of humans.
