The Happy broadcast:
Saving the whales
Sri Lanka's navy saved over 120 whales during the pandemic over the southwest coast. After becoming stranded people came out of their homes to help and succeeded but only a few died while trying to swim away because how tired they were.
Villagers forgot about the virus that was spreading around to help the Whales, even though reasons are unknown why they wash up their are many theories why.

P:E fitness
Physically fit:
To be in a state of health and well-being. Physical fitness is defined as the body's ability to function efficiently and effectively in work and leisure activities, to be healthy, to resist disease and to react to emergency situations.
What could effect fitness is:
Getting a broken leg or bone, your diet has a huge effect on how fit you are. Flu's can stop you from performing your best because of how it blocks your lungs.
Garbage Patch
Garbage in the ocean
Littering
Garbage in the ocean has been causing a lot of problems in the world, affecting marine life everyday and destroying reefs that may never come back. Littering is a major problem in the world. Littering damages the oceans, the plastics we use have been killing whales and destroing 85% of the oxygen in the world.
Daily use of plastic
The daily use of plastic is growing but also decreasing, the litter that people are picking up are being replaced by plastic that we drop. The plastic that we use is being dropped in the ocean which is degrading into microplastics where they are infecting every living thing that swims. Daily use of plastic is hard to stop, it’s cheaper and a lot easier to get a hold of.
Government trying to stop Plastic in the ocean
Governments have been trying to stop pollution in any way they can but they can’t force people to do it, that’s why they try to spread the message anyway they can.
They stopped people from Overfishing and made it law and stopped massive amounts of overfishing. China has resumed whale hunting which is a bad and terrible thing to start up again during this epidemic of plastic and loss of sea life.
People getting involved!
A rise of people have been helping with the problem, when they go out people have been using non-plastic cutlery, straw, and bags but now since COVID-19 has left for now we have been decent in our use of plastic but been a little slack.
Tonnes of PLASTIC!
The problem is us, people out there don’t care or don’t know, if they know what the problem is it’s because people afford the non-plastic, the plastic is 269,000 tonnes of plastic that has been left there which makes it plastic soup.
The US has been a major factor since they were so late to the problem and when they realised they have already destroyed the oceans, and oceans is what they need for their major fishing companies. The seafood industry has been experiencing a lot of micro-plastics with the fish and found that they were already dying because of it, and uneatable.
Conclusion to our problem.
The thing that we need to do is to band together and work at this problem, making sure that whales are not dying and producing Phytoplankton, when this happens less of “Plastic soup” will be occurring and the Pacific ocean will be cleaner and thriving in it’s own habitat.
