How does pollution affect Leatherback Turtles?

First plastic bags are used every day to carry home shopping which results in them ending up in our bins as rubbish. Rubbish is taken to landfill sites or carelessly dumped by roadsides, in fields or on beaches which causes it to go in the sea and harm fish. Because plastic bags are made from oil they take hundreds of yeas to decompose. In the water plastics bags look like jellyfish which are the main source of food for turtles. As a result turtles eat the plastic bags, their stomach become blocked causing them to starve to death.
