Kayla: Hey hey people in the past! Just wanted to make this video to say thanks! Thanks for not using so much plastic. The world got a lot better when you didn't.

You guys used to love plastic, I mean love, love, love it! Plastic is super useful, but you used to put it in chewing gum, stickers and t-shirts that you'd only wear a couple of times! Oh! I've got to show you guys this t-shirt. Just a sec.

I found it! From the 2020s, still going strong. Oh and this one I swapped with a friend and I just mended this one the other day. And this all started when you guys changed to be more awesome. Moving away from single-use plastics, not going through polyester clothes like loo roll.

Anyway, plastics get everywhere after you've used them, and back in your time lots went in the oceans. People dropped it, flushed it, sank it, some people are pretty clumsy if I'm honest.

And then the waves and weather broke the plastic into little pieces, and little fish would eat the little plastic, and then we would eat the little fish and then a bit of that bottle we threw out would be in us.

Weird, but true. So yeah, thanks for using less single-use plastics and recycling the plastic you did use.

Strange to think people didn't used to recycle. Like you dug stuff out of the ground, sent it to a factory, squished it into the shape of a bottle, popped a label on it, popped water in it, drove it to a shop, bought it, drank it, two seconds later, binned it.

All that for one bottle.

Kayla's Mum: Oh! Hey past people. Dinners ready. You want water with your dinner?

Kayla: Yep! Out of a tap please!

Kayla's Mum: Umm… yeah. Where else?

Kayla: What was I saying?

Oh yeah, thanks for recycling and not just using plastics once. You've saved the world's oceans and the fishies and you've saved me from eating plastic right now.
