There are as many reasons as human beings to take care of the oceans, they are the lungs of the planet since most of the oxygen we breathe is produced through photosynthesis by marine organisms, phytoplankton, and plants: all of which come from the ocean.<\/p>\n
Our human habits harm the marine ecosystems, that is why we offer the following tips to take care of the oceans:<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/strong>A couple of years ago, a scientific team<\/strong> from the Kyoto Institute of Technology (Japan) discovered a bacterium<\/strong> unknown before that is capable of digesting and assimilating plastic.<\/strong> That is, it can live by feeding on PET (polyethylene terephthalate), one of the most used plastics by the food industry. Thus, this bacteria is becoming an important ally in cleaning the planet.<\/p>\n Remember that most plastic ends up in the ocean, so reduce your use and consumption of plastic to a minimum, and continue to look for solutions together with us to take care of the oceans.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n At Nutty Scientists, we have different workshops on sustainable development, recycling, and climate change<\/a> which teach children in a fun and interactive way about the importance of taking care of the planet.<\/p>\n An example of one of these activities is the Lipasam Challenge<\/a> Campaign that Sevilla\u2019s Nutty Scientists<\/strong> team performs with little ones.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Resources:<\/strong><\/p>\n #TAKE3FORTHESEA<\/a><\/p>\n Discovery of a bacterium that eats plastic, an ally for cleaning the planet.<\/a><\/p>\n
