Where does this trash come from?PEOPLE LITTERING !!!!!
![Page 12: Plastic Soup Ocean - Ocean Gyre Preso for Elementary and Middle School - including solutions](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022032419/55a2f5231a28ab870e8b45dc/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Trash from the street goes into the drains…
Litter from the Street, into the Storm Drains, into the Ocean
Then goes out to the Bay
Trash then goes into the Ocean

Cigarette Butts are 20% of all litter

Styrofoam
Styrofoam is made of little tiny round balls that are compressed into Cups, Food Containers, and Coolers.
![Page 15: Plastic Soup Ocean - Ocean Gyre Preso for Elementary and Middle School - including solutions](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022032419/55a2f5231a28ab870e8b45dc/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Styrofoam = Nasty when it gets into the water
When the bond deteriorates, the little tiny pieces float for hundreds
of years and are impossible to clean up. Marine life
thinks this very toxic material is food, and it enters our food chain. These pictures are all
Styrofoam.

What other types of single use plastics are littered?
![Page 17: Plastic Soup Ocean - Ocean Gyre Preso for Elementary and Middle School - including solutions](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022032419/55a2f5231a28ab870e8b45dc/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
You don’t have to be part of the
problem !!!
• When we throw something ‘away’, where does it go? What is ‘Away’?
• What kinds of disposable single-use plastics do we use every day?
