The use of plastic has contributed to advancements in countless industries and fields of study over the past century. From science and medicine to household chores, plastic has been an integral part of new discoveries and processes. Although environmental concerns have created a reduction in the amount of plastic purchased and used by consumers, there is still a large amount of plastic trash polluting the Earth’s land and water. There are currently five giant trash gyres, or whirlpools collecting floating trash, in our oceans. The North Pacific gyre covers nearly 5 million square miles of ocean with an estimated 11 million tons of plastic waste.

Which information from the excerpt above would you include in an infographic? Explain why. Your answer should be 2 to 3 sentences

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

The information provided in the excerpt that I could include in an infographic would be the parts about how enviormental concerns have created a reduction in the amount of plastic purchased, how cutting back on plastic still leaves a large amount in the ocean, and how there is 5 million square miles with 11 million tons of plastic waste in the North Pacific gyre. These pieces of information should be included in an infographic because it tells people that more can and should be done to help our enviorment. Additonally, this also shows how human actions have scarily effected the enviorment in ways that are going to take a lot of work and improvements to be undone.
