Don’t throw trash in the sea because it can harm animals. Don’t throw plastic in the sea because it can kill turtles. Put your stuff in the bin not in the sea because it can make the sea very dirty and can make loads of damage. We have to take care of our planet.

The article was written after we attended one of the turtle release events organized by Nature trust. I describe the story behind the turtles in question and how our irresponsible behavior cause terrible injures to these turtles who had to pass through a period of rehabilitation before getting released back into the wild. The injuries caused were due to our fishing practices and waste dumped. It was a very emotional experience for all of us.

This lump of dangerous material causes damage to all sort of living sea creatures and this photo shows how invasive our behavior is. It contrasts with the beautiful natural landscape of the place.
