Turtle Ocean:
Entangled in a fishing net, Maury the hawksbill turtle swims toward a bleached coral reef in search of a tasty meal. To Maury's dismay the tempting jellyfish and sea sponges are deadly plastic bags and polystyrene foam.
Every piece of plastic in this display, once discarded, ended up on an ocean beach. Plastics don't just go away. They fill our watersheds and wash out to the ocean, where they break down into pieces often ingested by marine animals.
Plastic pollution is a global problem. You can make a difference by creating less waste, purchasing renewable and biodegradable products, and making sure your trash ends up in the trash. |
