Plastic in our oceans, poster 2

Another poster about the overuse of plastic and its effects on the planet.

Plastic in the oceans has a negative effect on most marine animals, as many of them confuse plastic for actual food. Separate studies done in 2013 showed that 50% of sea turtles in the studies had ingested plastic, and as a result were dying. The plastics create blockages in the animal’s intestines as it cannot be processed, leading the animal to starve to death.

If you can, please, reduce, reuse and recycle.
