In this blog post I will talk about the important problem of sea polution hurting Carretta Carretta's in Turkey. Imagine if you were a Carretta Carretta turtle and everyday you could die becuase of plastic in the sea.
What is the problem?
“One reckless act by human beings may injure them”. Yakup Kaska, President, Sea Turtles Research, Rescue and Rehabilitation Centre (DEKAMER)
One problem is Carretta Carreta's are being injured by plastic bottles cutting their shells. Another problem is the turtles cannot breathe if a plastic bag is stuck on their heads.
What is the cause?
The cause of this problem is people are throwing plastic into the sea, for example bottles or bags. Another cause is hotels are sometimes throwing lots of their plastic into the sea.
What is the effect? If nobody stops this problem, we will lose these beautiful animals forever.
What rights are denied?
According to Animal Welfare Needs, the right to a safe and clean environment is denied.
What are the solutions?
We could raise awareness to this problem.
We should recycle plastics and find eco-friendly steps like using bamboo toothbrushes.
We need to protest hotels that throw their plastic into the sea.
We mustn't ignore this problem.
STOP USING PLASTIC AND START SAVING CARRETTA CARETTA'S!
