Fish think plastic is food in our oceans of blue

Poem written by Isabelle Sanders aged 8.
Isabelle was inspired to write her poem whilst studying the effects of ‘plastic pollution’ in school.

PLASTIC!

This is an introduction to plastic pollution.
We are drowning the sea you and me.
Our fragile earth is losing it’s worth. 
Through plastic pollution changing it’s evolution.
Fish think plastic is food in our oceans of blue.
The damage to us is we are eating it too.
I just wish there were magic potions to save our oceans.
