What mood do you intend to create for your podcast?
The mood we want is a funny and motivational one because we want our listeners to get motivated to help plastic pollution and still get a couple of laughs in, but also get inspired to help this issue with all the plastic they use. 
Group Introduction:


Each member briefly introduces themselves and their role in the podcast (e.g., "Hi, I’m [Name], and today I’ll be talking about how plastic affects marine life").
Greetings, my name is <PRESIDIO_ANONYMIZED_PERSON>. Today I am on The "Choose a Better Tomorrow" podcast with De’Anthony Jones and Ronald Trotter. On this podcast, we will be talking about the issue of plastic pollution and how it's harming the earth, and now passing it on to Ronald. Hello, my name is Ronald, and I will talk about how plastic pollution can harm marine life and terrestrial animals now, onto De'Anthony. Hello, my name is De’Anthony, and I will talk about plastic pollution and how it’s harming humans.
Using the directions and example above, write the introduction to your podcast.
Begin your response here.
Hook the listener: Share a shocking statistic or a quick anecdote about plastic pollution (e.g., "Every year, over 8 million tons of plastic waste enter our oceans, and that’s just the beginning of the story…").
Using the directions and example above, write the hook to your podcast.
When plastic does not get recycled or destroyed properly it can get into fish, terrestrial animals, or even human digestive systems. Plastic takes 20 to 500 years to decompose, because of this plastic takes over 100 years to decompose when in water. 


Begin your response here.
Mention the main points the podcast will cover: "Today, we’ll discuss the impact of plastic on wildlife, the environment, and how we can all reduce our plastic footprint."
Using the directions and example above, write the main points you will cover in your podcast. List at least three, but no more than four points. 
4. Main Part of the Podcast (Approx. 5-7 minutes):
Section 1: Introduction to Plastic Pollution (Speaker 1) 


Briefly explain what plastic pollution is and why it's such a critical issue.
Begin your response here.
Provide relevant statistics.
The accumulation of synthetic plastic materials in the environment causes harm to humans, wildlife, and ecosystems. Plastic pollution can also be affected by climate change. This can spread our plastic waste across the ocean.Plastic pollution is a critical issue because it is being eaten by fish and can cause global warming then this  can cause wildlife to die if they drink or eat from the water.
Begin your response here.
Section 2: Environmental Impact (Speaker 2)


Discuss how plastic harms ecosystems, wildlife, and even human health (e.g., ingestion by marine life, microplastics in the food chain).
Begin your response here.
Plastic pollution harms ecosystems by disrupting habitats and contaminating soil and water. Wildlife suffer from ingestion and entanglement,leading to injury or death, and plastics can carry toxic chemicals that bioaccumulate in the food chain. Humans are affected through the consumption of microplastics in food and water, exposure to harmful additives, and potential oxygen  issues from air particles.

Section 3: What Can Be Done (Speaker 3)


Offer solutions: recycling, reducing plastic use, supporting organizations working on plastic cleanup efforts.
Begin your response here. Plastic pollution is a big problem, but we can help fix it. One way is to recycle plastic so it can be made into new things. We should also try to use less plastic by using reusable bags and bottles. Avoiding things like plastic straws and forks helps too. Supporting groups that clean up plastic from nature is another way to help. If everyone does these things, we can protect our planet and keep it clean. Plastic takes a long time to break down, so it stays in the environment for many years. Animals can get hurt when they eat or get tangled in plastic trash. When we recycle, we save resources and reduce pollution. Using less plastic also means less trash to clean up. Together, small actions can make a big difference for Earth. But first, let's take a quick break to hear from our sponsors.6


 

Mention everyday actions listeners can take to make a difference (e.g., "Switching to reusable shopping bags can significantly reduce your plastic waste each year").
Begin your response here..Plastics have become a huge part of our daily lives.these are some ways we can effectively reduce plastic pollution.We can do this by bringing are owen reusable bags to grocery stores to avoid single use of plastic we can use a reusable coffee cup when we thing to drink we can use more glass to avoid causing global warming.    



5. Commercials/Advertisements (Approx. 1-2 minutes each): Write two commercials that will play in between sections 1, 2, and 3. Your commercials should be an ad about sustainable products that can be used as an alternative to plastic and provide information on a REAL nonprofit organization that promotes ocean cleanup. 
Ad 1: A commercial about a sustainable product (e.g., reusable water bottles or bags):


Begin your response here. Plastic pollution is a huuuge worldwide problem. Plastic items like plastic bottles, straws, and stirrers are one use of plastic that causes plastic pollution. That's why we made reusable plastic and metal bottles, straws, stirrers, and other utensils to help with Plastic Pollution. Go to “Choose a Better Tomorrow. Organization.” Website to buy our products and help in stopping Plastic Pollution. Choose a Better Tomorrow.



Ad 2: An environmental nonprofit organization promoting ocean cleanup:


Begin your response here.
Hey, my name is Malachi. I'm with an organization called “Ocean Cleaning Transportation” and together we go all around the world and ocean to clean up the waters and to stop plastic pollution to prevent global warming and to prevent a  pandemic and to stop the fish from getting sick and dying. This can stop the ocean from being the number one drinking source.If we fail to keep the earth clean it could die and remember kids we only have one.


6. Conclusion (Approx. 1-2 minutes):
Summary: Recap the key points: plastic pollution’s harm to the environment, the need for action, and the solutions individuals can adopt.
Begin your response here. .Plastic pollution hurts us by hurting the fish when plastics enter the oceans, they break down into smaller pieces known as microplastics. Marine animals, including fish, often mistake these tiny particles for food. Consuming plastic can cause a range of harmful 

Call to Action: Encourage listeners to make small changes in their lives and spread the message.
Begin your response here.  I am Malachi and i'm here to tell you boys and girls how we hurt the earth and how we can keep it safe and clean.We can keep it clean by throwing are trash away and we can recycle it to keep it safe we can stop using plastic bags and plates and start using more glass
