INSTA POST:

Did they name him squishy before or after they decided to make him dinner? 🐢🐠🌊
Moral of the photo - jellyfish look exactly like plastic bags under the sea. Except unlike jellies, plastic never breaks down. Turtles cannot regurgitate, the plastic gets trapped and they can't swallow food. Some of them end up floating as a result of trapped gas leading to starvation or being an easy target for predators. Over 50% of turtles ingest plastic 😱

You can save the Crush's and the Squirt's of the sea by using reusable cloth bags at the grocery store, not littering, secure fly away rubbish and by not releasing balloons into the air. 🌍🏄🏽🐢🌊 Take care of the turtle club.
