Describe a time when you saw a lot of plastic waste

One time, when I was on vacation in Bali, I saw a lot of plastic waste on the beach. The beach was located near a popular tourist area, and it was clear that the plastic waste had been washed up on shore from the ocean.

It was really disheartening to see so much plastic littering the beautiful beach. There were all kinds of plastic waste, including plastic bottles, bags, and food containers. Some of the waste had clearly been there for a while, and was starting to decompose and break down into smaller and smaller pieces.

I felt really sad and frustrated about the plastic waste on the beach. It was clear that this was not an isolated incident, and that plastic pollution is a major problem all over the world. I couldn’t help but think about the impact that this waste was having on the environment, and on the people and animals who depend on the ocean and the beach for their livelihoods and survival.

Seeing all of this plastic waste really motivated me to think about my own consumption and disposal habits, and to make more conscious choices about reducing my plastic use and properly disposing of plastic waste.

💭 Where would you talk about? Here are some ideas:
– a public natural area (a beach, a park, a river)
– after a big event (a concert, a festival, a parade)
– at a recycling centre or landfill site (see picture above)
– in a city (on garbage collection day or behind a supermarket)
