What happens to our plastic bags after we have carelessly dumped them by the roadside?Bags left on beaches end up in our sea which causes marine pollution (trouble for sea life and creatures). Plastic bags are made from oil, which is a natural resource, therefore they take years to decompose (break down and disintegrate).
How does this affect Leather back turtles? Turtles eat the bags because they think they are their food because plastic bags look like jellyfish in the water. If the turtles stomach becomes blocked with plastic bags it results in the turtles starving
to death. If this continues Leather back turtles will be extinct (all died out) by 2030!
