Such as suffocation, being unable to defend its self, unable to eat, and for the animal to move properly.

Example:
Animals with jars stuck on there heads]]> 2023-03-09 14:37:56 UTC https://padlet.com/jordanes28/owd9cl97s2ih1otl/wish/2510391689 jordanes28 https://padlet.com/jordanes28/owd9cl97s2ih1otl/wish/2510400695 Example:
One time when I was at a zoo, there was a sea lion with a weird scar on its neck, that also pinched in its neck. Later I learned that this happened because when it was younger it got stuck in a fishing net and the sea lion's body grew around the net causing the neck to stay the same as when it was younger. Luckily the sea lion was saved and lives a happy life at a zoo with plastic free waters. ]]> 2023-03-09 14:43:26 UTC https://padlet.com/jordanes28/owd9cl97s2ih1otl/wish/2510400695 jordanes28 https://padlet.com/jordanes28/owd9cl97s2ih1otl/wish/2510404807 Limit single use plastics.

Some key facts:

  • Half of all plastics ever manufactured have been made in the last 15 years.
  • Production increased exponentially, from 2.3 million tons in 1950 to 448 million tons by 2015. Production is expected to double by 2050.
  • Every year, about 8 million tons of plastic waste escapes into the oceans from coastal nations. That’s the equivalent of setting five garbage bags full of trash on every foot of coastline around the world.
  • Plastics often contain additives making them stronger, more flexible, and durable. But many of these additives can extend the life of products if they become litter, with some estimates ranging to at least 400 years to break down.
