    The word microplastic means very small plastic.
    2 reasons why plastic is useful:
    1) It can be used for fun crafts
    2) It can also be used for packaging
    G͟o͟l͟d͟
    There are many ways on how we can help the environment. Instead of throwing away plastic bottles, we can just refill them or use them for fun creations. We don’t have to use plastic bags because this is not good for the environment, it is only good for you. If you want to help the environment, just use reusable ones it will be perfect for you and the environment.
