  2. My Action Proposal

  3. Problem My dad throws too many glasses’s plastic wrappers. My dad’s business is selling glasses. Each glasses is wrapped into a plastic wrapper. When a customer buys the glasses the plastic wrapper is being thrown away.

  4. Purpose To reduce land pollution especially plastic .

  5. My Prior Knowledge • Normal plastic bags are very hard to degrade. It may take up to 100-1000 years to degrade. • Bio-plastics can degrade itself in just 5-6 years. • Everyday day people keep using brand new plastic bags and use it only one time then throw it away. • Every people can use up to 10 plastic bags a day that usually for their food, shopping, drinks, etc. • When we use normal plastic bag it takes a long time to degrade so more and more rubbish will buildup until it degrade.

  6. My Inquiry Questions • What is Bio-plastics? • When we use less plastic bag will it affect climate change/ global warming? If yes in what way? • What are the connections between using bio-plastics and climate change? • What might happen in the future if all people around the world start to use bio-plastics? • How can bio-plastics help to counteract climate change? • Does bio-plastics can only be made using the resources (sugarcane, corn starch, etc)? why? • When we make bio-plastics will it use the same amount of pollution as normal plastics? Why?

  7. Background Research • Some plastic bags even use non-renewable resources to make it. • Bio-plastics are made of renewable resources (sugarcanes, vegetable fat and Oil, Corn starch, sugar cane). These resources are renewable. • When you want to throw away bio-plastics you can put it in the soil and it will automatically decompose itself. • Some plastics even cannot degrade at all.

  8. Causes • People usually when they don’t need the plastic bag anymore they throw is away even when there is a rubbish bin they still throw away recklessly. • Too much using palstic bags for one person. When people buy or eat something they usually receive a plastic bag. When one person go to one store they get a palstic bag then he/she go to another store then they receive a new plastic bag. • Using plastic bags too often. Everyday people use too much plastic bags even when they don’t need it.

  9. Effect EFFECTS / IMPACTS TO LIVING THINGS AND ENVIRONMENT • In Indonesia when people finish using the plastic bag they usually throw their plastic in the dirt. When plastic bag is thrown to the dirt, plants will die and the dirt will not be fertile, because the plastic is poisonous to the plants and the plants can’t grow well. Also when plastic bags are thrown away improperly they could be stuck in the sewer and causes flood, because the way of the rain water going into the sewer is blocked by the plastic bag. When a river is full of plastic bags it will poisoned the fish and also the river can overflow because it is blocked, because the plastic bag makes the river full and it reaches the limits and overflow. The city will look horrible because plastic bags are everywhere and fewer tourists will come. Animals eat the plastic bag and when humans want to eat the animal it will be poisonous.
