How does poulution affect Leatherback turtles?

Plastic bags are used every day to carry home shopping so that when they are finished with them they end up as rubbish in our bins. Some rubbish is carelessly dumped by roadsides in fields or on beaches however some rubbish is taken to landfill sites. Bags left on beaches end up in the sea which causes plastic bags to cause marine pollution. Plastic bags are made from oil. This causes plastic bags to take hundreds of years to decompose.
Plastic bags left on the beaches end up in the sea which causes marine pollution (rubbish in the sea). Ocean currents carry plastic bags to feeding grounds. Plastic bags look like jelly fish in the water which are the main source of food for Leather back turtles. Turtles eat the plastic because they think they are their food which results in the turtles stomach becoming blocked. Turtles starve to death. Consequently by 2030 Leatherback turtles will be extinct.

Do you know what happens to your plastic bags when you have finished with them? Plastic bags are made from oil ,which is a natural resource, and they take hundreds of years to decompose (break down and disintergrate). Sea pollution is caused by people ditching rubish on beaches and then getting pulled into the sea by ocean currents. To stop causing pollution you could recycle, reuse or reduce plastic instead of throwing it onto beaches!
Pollution causes camage to sea creatures especially Leatherback turtles because their main source of food is Jellyfish.
