How does marine pollution effect Leatherback turtles?

Where do your plastic bags end up when they are out of use? Have you ever wondered what plastic are made from? They're made from oil, a natural resource, which takes hundreds of years to decompose (break down and disintagrate). The plastic bags cause problems for marine life (sea life/creatures) especially leatherback turtles.
By 2030 Leatherback turtles will be extinct because of all the marine pollution. Marine pollution comes from the people who don't care and the people who dump all of the rubbish on the beaches. Leatherback turtles eat the plastic bags because they think it is their source of food. Plastic bags look like jellyfish in the water therefore the turtles eat them and starve to death. When Leatherback turtles eat the plastic bags their stomach becomes blocked and they starve to death.

Reduce, Recycle, Reuse

This morning Alex from Devon Recycling came in to talk about RRR. Plastics that we have in our houses could be Recycled or Reused. DON'T PUT IT IN A BROWN BIN!
Sand is turned into glass and the glass is really strong for glass because if you hold it about 10cm off the ground and drop it, it won't smash. The bauxite is turned into Aliminium which is a kind of metal. Trees are turned into paper that we use to write on and draw on. Oil is turned into plastic. Dont keep cutting down trees use the paper you have already you are killing habitats respect your environment and others!
We Recycle because if we dont it damages the Earth because the atmosphere of the Earth makes a hole in the atmosphere and the bad gas goes into the air to the sun and makes the sun hotter and kills ice creatures because it melts the ice. Did you know disposible nappies can make roof tiles. These are habitats trees sand oil. Oil is at the bottom of the sea bed
