How marine life is effected

What happens to your plastic bags when you have finished with them ? Plastic bags are made from oil, a natural resource, consequently taking hundreds of years to decompose (break down disintegrate). This is damaging marine life (sea life sea creatures).
Bags left on beaches end up in the sea because people carelessly dump them on roadsides and on beaches. Leather back turtles will be extinct by 2030 because the Leather back turtles are mistakenly eating plastic bags instead of jelly fish. This is causing the turtles stomach to become blocked in resulting in them starving to death.
