Captured in ice- By Veronika Meduna
This story was about the ice research that Nancy Bertler did using the ice from Antarctica to find out the earth's timeline and how much CO2 ( Carbon dioxide ) there is in the atmosphere.
Using drills they cut out the ice cores and take them back to New Zealand to study them under a microscope by melting the ice with a hot plate. The research shows that the CO2 levels have grown over the past thousand years. If we don't do something we are in danger of the whole world going under water. Antarctica has more to do with global warming.

The Great barrier reef - Sarah Wilcox
This article was about. Increasing amounts of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere that are warming up the ocean. If the water becomes 2-3 degrees warmer than its normal temperature something called coral bleaching happens which turns the vibrant coral white. Although most coral can survive this some may die during this process.
Destroying habitats for some marine wildlife.

Why we should stop using plastic
I strongly believe that we should stop using plastic. After reading this I hope you will agree with me.
My first reason is that it causes pollution! There is one huge problem in our world today and that is ... pollution. We are destroying this planet with one substance ... plastic, because we use so much everyday we need to make it in massive factories which is releasing a lot of gases into our atmosphere, and since most people only use plastic products once it just builds up and for most plastic products it takes anywhere from 10-1000 years to break down.
The second reason is that it affects our health. There is a lot of harmful toxins in plastic one is BPA, but now a lot of plastic is BPA free but there is still some chemicals in it. If exposed to some of these chemicals it could cause cancer in some people.
My final reason is that animals eat it. So much plastic is in our ocean that animals like turtles think that it is food but in reality it is a deadly weapon. Earlier this year a whale in Thailand died from eating 80 plastic bags that's how much plastic is in the water.
So in conclusion plastic is causing pollution, is harmful to people as well as animals. We can make a difference together if we star cutting down on plastic. We can do this.
