Did you know that 100,000 sea animals die in a year from plastic bags?. Plastic bags are a reason why the animals are dying the plastic bag gets taken to the landfill were it takes 400 years to decompose, and if it doesn't decompose it can go down the drain and into the ocean. Turtles mistake the plastic bag for a jellyfish, although we can stop throwing away single use plastic bags because we can keep them for something else like gardening.
We have reusable plastic bags that people can use more than once. Turtles and other sea creatures aren't just dying because they are choking on plastic bags. The plastic bags are smothering the coral and there food source so they starve. Plastic bags are harming the environment and the sea creatures because people are not taking care of animals that live in new zealand and other countries, so we should be taking care of the ocean that the sea creatures are living in. Most sea turtles are harmed by plastic bags. More than 1 million sea turtles are harmed because of plastic bags. Sea Turtles aren’t the only sea animals that die from choking on plastic bags, Seals and Sea Lions, Seabirds, Fish, Whales and Dolphins are harmed by plastic bags a well.
We should take care of our land by getting rid of plastic and using reusable bags instead so we don’t have to harm more sea animals, And this is why we change our ways of thinking about caring for the land and the ocean.
