Chapter Two A Murderer’s Son I stared gapingly, realizing I’d done a lot of that lately. The tall ceilings, the real gold flakes on the walls, the expensive furniture - Lawrence was right, the furniture was amazing! - everything was almost… overwhelming.  Boys were everywhere, exploring the castle so I decided I might as well. … Continue reading Tournament of the Kings: Chapter Two, A Murderer’s Son – Part One of Two

Plastic Pollution

Featured / Marie G.I.G. / 2 Comments

Hey! Today I’m rebloging a post by Reese! She had something to say on her blog that I think needs to be shared, so here you have it:

Blogging with Reese

Hey everyone! Today I’ve decided to write about a more serious topic, which is different because I usually post about more light-hearted stuff.

Today’s post is about…. plastic pollution!

So if you don’t know what plastic pollution is, it’s basically the littering of plastic, whether it’s a plastic bottle, or a grocery bag. 

Now, have you ever thought about where your plastic goes when you throw it out?

When you throw your plastic in the garbage, it goes to a garbage dump and sits there for as long as it takes to break down. That’s pretty sad, don’t you think, especially when you think about how much garbage you use in a day. Then think about how many people there are in the world.

Here’s a list of how long some things take to break down:

Paper towel: 2 – 4 weeks
Orange or banana peel: 2 – 5 weeks
Newspaper:…
