Impact of Pollution on Polar Bears
Problems Statement:
Annually, around 2.3 billion kilograms of Styrofoam end up in our landfills and waterways, and it is going to be there forever, according to some experts, the decomposition of Styrofoam to 500 years. There are not only styrofoam, 10 to 20 million tons of plastic, 1 Trillion plastic bags, and much more pollution ending up in the ocean each year.
Pollution is a big problem as for the bears eat them, but global warming is much more serious.
390 billion tons of snow and ice melts each year as globe warms. Glaciers could almost disappear in some mountain ranges by the end of the century. Eventually, polar bears will have no home.
What Can be Done:
What we can do, is to reduce the using of those product, and eliminate the usage of electric product like computers which is wrapped up by those foam.
Items used in my project:
Styrofoam, plaster, plastic bottles, bubble wrap, black colors, and bamboo skewers.
​
What I'd do differently next time:
Try something else. A better plan; more details for purchasing, better description of steps. And use more materials.
​
What I'm most proud of:
Everything.
