THE PLASTIC PACIFIC

How much plastic is in the sea?

Fifty-one trillion pieces!

Fifty-one trillion ways to kill

all our ocean species.

Choking, snarling, killingwhales, turtles, and fish;

unless we stop dumping toxic trash

our oceans will diminish.

OTTER SNOT

Does 

an otter

have snot

or not?

Whether or not

an otter has 

snot,

I know 

not.
