Good healthcare in Sub - Saharan Africa!
What we can do:
Why does it matter? What can we do?
Healthcare in Sub-Saharan Africa is one of the poorest in the world. Only 42.4 percent of people in these countries are satisfied with the availability of their healthcare.
● Donate money to health facilities in this region
● Make more and better medicines in SubSaharan Africa because in these countries, they lack good medicine
● Spread awareness
Why should we help? We should help because there are millions of people in this region who seek healthcare and are at risk of death because of lack of quality healthcare. It is unfair to them that they have to face these challenges and we don’t.

Stop throwing plastic in the North Pacific Ocean!
By: Caroline Smith
We should stop throwing plastic and other types trash because lots of animals die from pollution. Second, coral reefs are being destroyed and this causes many animals to lose their homes. Finally, we can’t filter the water to make clean water because it’s too dirty. Those are my three reasons why I think pollution should stop in the North Pacific ocean.
Why am I doing this? I’m doing this because I think healthcare in the U.S. should be upgraded and people should be treated well, and people should have access to FREE healthcare.

WE SHOULD STOP THROWING PLASTICS
IN THE OCEAN
It’s been estimated that plastic pollution kills 100,000 marine mammals every year . Microplastic are consumed by animals like plankton, passing the problem back up the food chain - to us .
Animals carry microplastics in their bodies. When they are themselves eaten, those microplastics are also ingested . This process is called 'trophic transfer' of microplastics . Since one animal eat another, microplastics can move through the food chain . And now there is microplastics in our water, salt, honey … … because we throw plastics in the ocean .
A gray whale that died after being stranded near Seattle in 2010 with more than 20 plastic bags, a golf ball, and other rubbish in its stomach . An inflammation of a sperm whale’s abdominal tissues caused by the presence of nearly 30 kilograms of indigestible plastic . Turtles eat plastic bags mistaking them for jellyfish . And seabirds are found with their stomachs full of plastic items . Plastic debris can get lodged in coral and affect the health of reefs . There were 34.7 million tons of plastic in 2015 . There were 35. 8 million tons of plastic in 2016 . There were 38. 1 million tons of plastic in 2017 . There were 40. 2 million tons of plastic in 2018 . There were 41.3 million tons of plastic in 2019 . There were 40. 7 million tons of plastic in 2020 . There were 42 million tons of plastic in 2021 . And there were 42.7 million tons of plastic entering the ocean in 2022 .
