Science | Waste in Our World
We’ve all been told that we should recycle plastic bottles and containers. But what actually happens to the plastic if we just throw it away? In this TED-Ed video, we learned about the life cycles of three different plastic bottles, shedding light on the dangers these disposables present to our world.
Also, plastic pollution poses one of the biggest known threats to the ocean, influencing all ecosystems from beautiful coral reefs to abyssal trenches, eventually accumulating in our own food.

What Are The Oil Sands?
Oil sands are a mixture of sand, water, clay and bitumen. Bitumen is oil that is too heavy or thick to flow or be pumped without being diluted or heated. Some bitumen is found within 70 metres (200 feet) of the surface, but the majority is deeper underground.
The Athabasca oil sands are large deposits of bitumen or extremely heavy crude oil, located in northeastern Alberta, Canada – roughly centred on the boomtown of Fort McMurray. These oil sands, hosted primarily in the McMurray Formation, consist of a mixture of crude bitumen, silica sand, clay minerals, and water.
