Plastic bags are harmful to marine life, which has suffered a lot due to such hazardous material. Leatherback sea turtles are an endangered species and will be extinct in a few years if not saved, according to the International Union for Conservation of Nature. These turtles take these plastic bags as food, and as a result lose their lives.
We need to take measures to protect and preserve these precious species by ensuring that plastic bags are not thrown in the sea.
