Sustainability

The materials that are used to make my clock are wood (MDF), paper, cardboard, glue and plastic.

Issues associated with plastics on the environment:

1. If animals swallow plastic they can get harmed and die
2. Plastic is not biodegradable which means the environment can become polluted from too much waste plastic.

Steps me and my family can take to reduce plastic consumption and protect the environment:

1. Recycling, reducing and reusing plastic.
2. We can reuse plastic bags by using them as bin liners or to carry things in.
3. Making sure you don't leave rubbish on the floor but put it in the bin.
4. Not having too much plastic glad wrap or sandwhich bags in my lunchbox by using containers.
5. Using hessian bags when going shopping instead of plastic.
