The document describes a meal of potato gnocchi with tomato sauce and cream that contains processed sugar. Two of the ingredients were packaged in plastic. No food was thrown away from the plate. All items on the plate came from Argentina. The document then discusses the impacts of plastic pollution in oceans, how plastics can be toxic if inhaled or absorbed, and how turtles sometimes mistake plastic bags for jellyfish. It notes that microplastics pollute the environment and plastic ends up in islands. A video is provided showing the container that was made for storing items.

8. At the beginning of 1982, the first IL GATTO was
inaugurated. The objective was to develop a
restaurant that recreated the spirit of the typical Italian
trattorias and whose main attraction were pastas and
pizzas. To achieve this, recipes of traditional dishes
from different regions were brought especially from
Italy, which, with the collaboration of experienced
chefs, adapted to the palate of the Argentines until
they achieved the particular flavor that identifies the
cuisine of Il Gatto Trattorías.
9. Can we collect all the
plastics?
We think it is impossible to collect all the plastics
because they are all spread in the ocean and we only
know 2% of the ocean!!
10. What About all the
plastics in the
ocean?
The plastics contaminate the water and make a lot of
animals die because of infection. The plastics have
chemicals that make animals die.
11. What affects can
the chemicals in
plastics have on
body? Plastic resins are liquid plastics. Poisoning can occur
from swallowing plastic resin. If you inhale resine you
can poison.
Polyethylene could be toxic if inhaled and/or absorbed
into the skin or eyes as a vapor or liquid.
12. Plastic Pollution
Pollution by plastic is the accumulation of plastic products
in the environment that produces adverse effects on
wildlife, wildlife habitat, or humans.There are numerous
types and forms of pollution by plastic. Pollution by plastic
can adversely affect land, waterways and oceans. In
certain regions, plans have been implemented to try to
reduce the consumption of plastic and promote the
recycling of plastic. The importance and extent of pollution
by plastic is correlated with the low cost and durability of
plastic, which leads to human beings using large amounts
of plastic elements.Microplastics are small pieces of plastic
that pollute the environment. They are approximately 5 mm
in diameter.Plastics end in islands made of plastic. The
goal related is Life below water.
13. Goal
The plastic pollution is relationed because all garbage
and animals think they are other animals. For
example: Turtles confuse plastic bags with jellyfishes
so they eat them and the get intoxicated and hurt.
14. Our own container We decided to make this container because we
needed a place to put things. It is not only used put
things, you can also put drinks in it.
