Over half of sea turtles and over 90% of seabirds have ingested some form of plastic (washingtonpost.com/news/speaking-…).
On #WorldTurtleDay I'm urging you to do something about your plastic use and about pollution in your area.
I also want to share how I think of these kinds of problems.

First I want to address something. When I talk about small actions we can take, I often get some variation of these responses:
-there's so much pollution, or
-it's going to take systemic change to get rid of [problem],
-nothing I do makes a difference.

EVERYTHING you do makes a difference and has consequences that cascade out from your action or inaction.
Yes, it will take systemic change to address plastic pollution and other problems. But taking part in small actions doesn't preclude you from ALSO taking on large problems.

It’s #WorldTurtleDay, apparently. We didn’t know this, BUT we do know several facts about turtles and tortoises.
