Last month I read many articles文章 about how much plastic塑料 there is in the world. Plastic kills thousands of birds,fish and many other animals and the 1 is getting worse and worse. People think that by the year 2050,there will be 2 pieces of plastic in the sea than fish.
If you walk on a beach,you will find this is 3. There is plastic everywhere. People 4 themselves on the beach. Sadly,however,after having fun,many of them are too 5 to take their rubbish home with them or, 6,put it in a dustbin.
Luckily,some people are trying to 7 this problem on one beach in the Mediterranean地中海. 8 picking up the rubbish themselves on the beach,they made a big fish and put it on the beach. The fish has a big open 9 and you can see inside it. There is a big 10 on the fish. It reads, "I am Goby the fish and I love eating rubbish. "The fish is 11 and looks like a piece of art. People 12 it with plastic bottles,paper and some other rubbish. When it is 13,some workers empty it and then people can put their rubbish in it again.
Now there is much less rubbish on the beach 14 Goby "lives" there. This is a very 15 way to make people keep the beach clean. It not only looks good but also saves a lot of money.
