Micro plastics found in Antarctica Ice

                  Antarctica Plastic

Scientists have found micro plastic in sea ice in Antarctica, showing a disturbing trend towards plastic pollution everywhere on earth. It has been 50 years since plastic was produced industrially supposedly better than glass, when it reached beaches people believed it to be saver than glass as it didn’t cut people’s feet. At the time it was considered save as the majority of plastic produced was assumed to be land filled. Due to it taking centuries to decompose we have a disaster ensuing which needs to be dealt with. Making bio degradable plastics is one why to fix this problem, making it edible for wildlife is also beneficial.

Firstly growing from seed and putting them in little seedling pots and then planting out when they are big enough.

Making paper seedling pots can help prevent climate change, waste can reduce natural landscapes and can in hand effect our environment. A lack of natural resources can effect the planets viable sustainability.

Cauliflower seedlings these are needing to be re potted into bigger pots.

Beds have been prepared for seeds and will hopefully become seedlings

Trimming the grass using a trimmer makes live easier and also prevents weeds and green fly. The pond has new frogs in which help prevent insects damaging crops.
Ponds within an Allotment helps prevent insect damage and also helps with pollination, visiting bees can drink from the pond and helps with wildlife.
