Terrible truth
We all enjoy relaxing on the beach, but these days you will most likely find much more than just sand and sea! Many of the thousands of people who visit the beaches each year leave behind food wrappers, cigarette butts, cans of drinks and toys such as buckets, shovels and beach balls. This garbage doesn't just look awful - it's dangerous!
Litter harms wildlife and people
Marine mammals, such as seals, sea lions and dolphins, like to see unusual objects in the sea. This is how they mix in the manure, which injures them and prevents them from finding food or swimming away from their enemies. sea turtles often eat plastic bags because they look like jellyfish. Then it fills the turtle's digestive system and makes it feel full, so it stops eating and starves. Every year, 100,000 marine mammals and almost a million seabirds die from either falling or eating debris! Many of these creatures are already endangered or endangered species. In addition, garbage is dangerous to humans because it can be cut on glass or metal.
So ... the next time you go to the beach, make sure you are part of the solution, NOT the problem! Take all your trash with you and think about taking any other trash you may see around you.
