Research for Assembly Presentation

Over the past month I have collected multiple statements/quotes from multiple sources in order to have material for my plastic free week.

BBC Documentary South Pacific: "In just 40 years fish could be off the market" due to human pollution of the oceans
BBC Documentaries are well known for being reliable and well researched so this is a reliable source for content, along with the fact that the documentaries are produced containing information that is easily accessed by the public.

Sir David Attenborough: "It is surely our responsibility to do everything within our power to create a planet that provides a home not just for us, but for all life on Earth"

Plastic Pollution Coalition: "Plastic pollution and climate change are parallel global emergencies. Plastic is a petroleum product; to truly divest from fossil fuels, we must reduce our collective plastic footprint" The Plastic Pollution Collective is made up of individuals, businesses and policy makers trying to fight the creation, use and pollution of plastic products. They encourage people to live plastic free and run events to encourage larger communities such as schools and towns to get involved. They use a Plastic Free Town initiative where they encourage towns to become plastic free. They're "a part of the Plastic Pollution Coalition network of communities around the globe that seek to eliminate disposable plastic and to measurably reduce their overall plastic footprint." The plan includes ideas on how to locate the problems and then ban, prohibit and monitor the plastic use in towns.

The IPCC Report published on the 8th October 2018 has stated that we have 12 years to save the Earth due to climate change.
