Environmental Concerns: Marine Danger

TURTLES AND STRAWS

My heart breaks when I see these precious creatures getting torture by pollution. One major item that has been affecting turtles for years are straws. Metal straws are a great replacement to plastic straws, they can't hurt the turtles! Plus they feel better to drink out of in my opinion. Plastic straws are very harmful to turtles they can't degrade for years and when they do they just break into smaller and smaller pieces. 

Here is a link to buy metal straws to SAVE THE TURTLES
