How does pollution affect Leatherback turtles?

Do you know what happens to you're plastic bags when you have finished with them?Did you have any idea that plastic bags are made from oil therefore take hundreds of years to decompose (break down and fall to bits). Plastic bags are used every day to carry home shopping. When they are finished with they they end up as rubbish in are bins. Afterwards it gets taken to a land fill sights (a place where all you're rubbish goes) but unfortunately some plastic bags get left on beaches and up in the sea which causes a problem for marine life(life under the sea).
plastic bags look like jellyfish under the sea therefor Leather back turtles eat the bags because they think its their food. The turtles stomach becomes blocked which results in them starving to death! If this carries on by 2030 Leather back turtles be extinct( no more left in the world )

Reduce, Reuse, Recycle!

We thought that today's work was very interesting and extremely fun!
Our favourite part was when we had a race to see who could be the fastest to sort out the natural resources and looking at all of the different materials that are wasted every day. Did you know that the place where all your rubbish goes is called a landfill! Also did you know that some roof tiles are made of disposable nappies and that the horrible gas that produces a really bad smell is called methane and it can affect the environment, causing Global warming and Climate Change. Oil spillages can effect animals such as turtles and dolphins and lots of other sea creatures because it blocks their airways and then they might die!
Please help us reduce, reuse and recycle to save the WORLD!
