Share this post with your followers if you care about turtles and want them to be able to live safely in their natural habitat! 💪🏽 Why do we continue to chose convenience over our wildlife and the environment? Single-use plastic water bottles are a relatively new phenomenon - they exploded onto the scene in the ‘90s, and have since become the norm - and now plastic is killing more than 1 million seabirds and animals EVERY year! Other forms of plastic packaging are no better, as you can see with these photos 1st: a Red-eared Slider caught in the plastic 6-pack rings, 📷: teensforoceans.org & 5 Gyres Institute, 2nd: baby sea turtle stuck in a plastic cup on their way to the ocean after hatching, 📷: Broward County Sea Turtle Conservation Program. We must do our part to alert EVERYONE we know, and all our social media followers too, in order to end our society’s reliance on single-use plastic and empower consumers to choose and champion sustainable alternatives instead! It’s not an easy change to make and we’ll need EVERYONE to work together to make this work, but when more people see the deadly consequences for our precious wildlife and our environment - and sadly at the current rate it’s going to get much worse before it can better - we have faith that people will recognize that it’s not even a choice but a necessity if we want our planet, and our own species, to survive in the future so spreading awareness is top priority...please share this pet and help us get the word out before any further innocent animals have to suffer or die! Thank you for the head’s up @turtleconservancy.
