Sea Turtles Harmed by Plastic

Sea turtles are an animal that people don’t think about from day to day.  They think about their house pets and nothing of those that live in the wild or even in the ocean.  Sea turtles are facing extinction if we don’t stop throwing our plastic bags out the window.  The sea turtles see the plastic bags and think it is food such as dead jellyfish. And when they try to eat it, that plastic stays in their stomachs.  Over 100,000 sea turtles have been killed from plastic in their stomachs.  Leather Back Turtles are threatened with extinction because of the plastic in the ocean, and if we don’t stop, then in 10 years they will be gone.  So we need to do what we can to get sea turtles healthy again.  So stop throwing your plastic out the window, because it ends up in the ocean.
