Rubbish Problem

Dear Citizens of Christchurch,

Do you know where your rubbish goes?
When you drop it into the gutter on the side of the road do you
know where it ends up? Well I am here to tell you and there is a way to fix it.

Put your plastic water bottles in the yellow bin!
If you drop your rubbish in the side walk,
It can get blown into a stream or a river which carries it
into the ocean where sea animals such as turtles, mistake them for food
and eat them. Eating plastic makes them feel full but really they are
not and as a result they die of starvation. Do you want that to happen?

All your rubbish ends up getting caught in currents which get delivered
(Thanks to a current) to a big garbage island. Then your rubbish gets
washed up onto the shore and moved to places such as Mexico City.
People can swim through your rubbish.

So next time you drop a piece of rubbish, think about where it will go!
