Greenpeace Finds Plastics in Animal Poop
Nature is so beautiful. I love hiking through the mountains of Taiwan.
Ew! But it is not nice when I see garbage in nature.
在大自然中看到垃圾好噁心。
According to Greenpeace, who are a very large environmental organization, all
this plastic is ending up inside animals' bodies!
綠色和平組織說,有很多塑膠到最後進了動物身體裡!
Greenpeace knows this because they are finding microplastics in animal poop!
他們在動物的便便裡面找到微塑膠!
Microplastics are very, very, very tiny pieces of plastic. When experts from
Greenpeace studied some wild animals in Taiwan, they found a lot of
microplastics in their poop!
This means animals are eating the plastic, or they are eating other animals
that ate the plastic.
微塑膠是超級超級小的塑膠。動物吃掉塑膠後,便便裡面就會有微塑膠。
This is not healthy for the animals. Plastic in their bodies can cause all
sorts of health problems. It can even kill them!
這個對動物的健康不好,牠們可能會死掉!
So we really need to stop throwing plastic garbage into the environment. And
everyone can help cut down on plastic.
大家都要一起減少使用塑膠。
Just remember to use as little plastic as possible, reuse as much as you can,
and of course, recycle!

Keeping Taiwan's Coastline Clean
The last time I was at this beach, it was covered in garbage! There was so
much garbage I couldn't even walk along the water.
上ㄧ次來海邊,有好多垃圾!這一次好多了。
There were glass bottles, old boxes, and a lot of plastic garbage. Those are
not things that should be on a beach.

Some experts say as much as 150,000 bags of garbage can be found on Taiwan's
coastlines every year.
That is about 650 tons worth of garbage. Do you know how much 650 tons
weighs? That's the weight of about 160 full grown Asian elephants!
每一年在台灣的海邊會找出十五萬袋的垃圾,有六百五十噸。
That's why it is so important for people to volunteer to clean all the

go to the beach and play in the water.

hurt fish and other animals in the ocean.
太平洋垃圾島是一堆在海上飄的垃圾推起來的,這些垃圾會害魚跟其他的動物受傷。
Some people are trying very hard to clean up the plastic from the ocean. One

to clean up plastic from the ocean.

This year, his machine hit a milestone. It cleaned up 220,000 pounds of

away!

海裡怎麼會有鞋子飄著呢?
How can they be floating in the ocean for so long, and still look almost
