Plastic bags are used everyday to carry home shopping. When they are finished with the plastic bags end up as rubbish in our bins . Rubbish is taken to landfill sites. Some rubbish is carelessly dumped by roadsides in fields or on beaches therefore bags left on beaches end up in the sea. Plastic bags cause marine pollution because plastic bags are made from oil. Finally plastic bags take hundreds of years to decompose. Plastic bags left on the beaches end up in the sea which causes marine pollution (rubbish in the sea). Ocean currents carry plastic bags to feeding grounds. Plastic bags look like jelly fish in the water which are the main source of food for Leather back turtles. Turtles eat the bags because they think they are their food which results in the stomach becoming blocked. Consequently turtles stave to death. Therefore by 2030 Leatherback turtles will be extinct.
