A Litter Island

In our daily life, so many people throw litter into the sea. It ends up in the Pacific Ocean. There is a big island of litter. There are plastic things, such as old toys, bottles, shoes and plastic bags. These waste things get together in the sea and they become an island on the water!

The litter island is now six times as big as England. It is getting bigger and bigger. These waste things are bad for fish and birds. It is bad for our health, too. Some kinds of litter can be used again. We should recycle cans, glass and paper.

一个垃圾岛

在我们的日常生活中，如此多的人把垃圾扔进海里。最后它在太平洋里堆积起来。有一个大的垃圾岛。里面有塑料物品，如：旧玩具、瓶子、鞋子和塑料袋。这些废品在海里聚集，它们成了水上的一个岛！

现在的垃圾岛是英国的六倍大。它正变得越来越大。这些废品对鱼类和鸟类有害，也对我们的健康有害。一些种类的垃圾可以被再次使用。我们应该回收利用金属罐、玻璃和纸张。
