Turtles lay eggs in the same beach that they hatched even though it could be a long way to get to that beach. Turtles are soon becoming extinct because they choke on the plastic of the sea thinking that it’s their food: jellyfish. When an adult female turtle lays eggs, around a hundred of turtle hatchlings hatch and set off on a journey in the sea. If we litter the sea and beaches, these poor little hatchlings won’t be able to go on their journey and continue to reproduce. So, don’t litter anywhere and always follow the three Rs; Reduce, Reuse and Recycle. We can eliminate single-use plastic by buying reusable bottles instead of disposable ones.

Cigarettes are not only harming the active smoker but also the individuals nearby…furthermore irresponsible individuals who litter both the packets and the cigarette buts in the streets are contributing to a large pollution and littering problem. Such litter tends to end up carried with rain or wind and end up blocking the street gutters or actually end up polluting oceans too.

Where there is rain, the snail will follow! The snail is usually regarded as pest as it ‘ruins’ our produce…what shall we refer to the humanity for exploiting the one Earth we have? Is it important to recognize the importance of all organisms in a natural food chain and if needed one shall opt for a biological pest control or the old method of removing by hand rather than introducing chemicals which will harm other organisms as well.
