Bag It Reflection 1

There are a lot of bags in this world. More than you thing.Plastic bags are made from fossil fuel, which relates to our debate. When fossil fuel is gone its gone. Lots of places in the world are trying to to reduce the use of plastic bags. In class we learn to recycle and reduce so it relates to earth science. When you let go of a plastic bag and let it go in the air it will go to some ocean and kill the marine animals. That relates to our science job careers. The oceanographer need to take care of the ocean and will know a lot about it.
