Team: The Last Straw, Field-Stevenson School, Forest Park

Nice work, you are clearly passionate about the animals in the ocean.  You are also a good example regarding letting people know that your actions can help make change.  You might want to add how straws get into the ocean so that people can make a connection to using straw and how they end up in the ocean.  You could visit https://www.5gyres.org or the https://www.plasticpollutioncoalition.org for more information on this.  You may want to consider a title change, Ocean Plastics is a big topic, maybe be more specific and title it One Straw Can Change the Ocean or something like that since the topic was mostly about straws.  Congratulation and thank you for your submission.  I am sure it was a lot work to put this together.

Great presentation! I really enjoyed watching your video! You talked confidently in front of the camera, and the pictures and data used in your presentation brought the problem to life. I was shocked when hearing those straw could fill 127 school buses everyday! Thank you for using such a creative way to help people like me to understand the problem better!

I like your suggestion of reducing single-use plastic and I will give it a try in my daily life, too! I think those restaurants and shops who are still offering sing-use plastics should watch your video, and take actions!
