This is a photo of some of the many bits of litter I saw that had been thrown into the jungle on the way back from Machu Picchu. I also saw lots of tiny bits of plastic washed up on a beach that turtles use to lay their eggs on at Mayan ruins in Mexico (It would have broken off the masses of plastic floating in the sea).
The saddest thing is that these bits of plastic will take longer to break down and disappear than the age of the sites that I have visited!
I am going to make sure that I take more care to recycle my plastics when I get back home. If you want to learn more about recycling so that you can keep the planet cleaner ask your school eco-leader (That's Miss Townsend if you go to Weobley Primary).
