Plastic pollution is a serious problem that is affecting the health of our planet. It poses a real danger to wildlife, birds, and sea creatures who digest microplastic, mistaking it for food. Some birds even feed pieces of plastic to their offspring. Discarded plastic bags are now regularly found in dolphins, sharks, and whales. It is therefore important to teach children at a young age to be like Archie by leaving only footprints and picking up all their rubbish when they visit the beach or local park.
