Slides and games to teach about plastic waste in the ocean. Please comment if you have any ideas on how to fix the problem of plastic waste in the ocean! Eating Game: This game is to teach one reason why plastic in the ocean is bad for ocean life. You're a fish. You want to eat food. Move your mouse cursor around to find the food. When you swim over something that looks like food, you'll eat it. But some of them aren't food! Some are plastic. When you eat plastic, you'll fill up your stomach. If your stomach gets full, you won't be able to eat any more food and you'll die. Catch game: This game is to get a feel for where the ocean trash is coming from. High income countries use a lot of plastic, but their cleanup systems are pretty good. They are not polluting the most. Low income countries don't have good waste collection systems, but they aren't using that much plastic so they are also not polluting the most. Middle income countries have started using much more plastic, but they haven't set up their waste collection systems. So the most plastic is coming from middle income countries.
