SAVE THE TURTLES 🐢

Turtles are becoming more and more endangered as time goes on and is something that really needs to be changed. Millions of sea turtles inhabit the sea now only a bit of them ate still around. Humans are the caused of this because we destroy there habitats by throwing plastics in the sea, and hunt them for food and profit. It is unbelievable that people can kill such beautiful creatures just for their personal benefit. Humans are not the only reason sea turtles are facing extinction, but we are the main reason. Plastic is a material consisting of synthetic or semi-synthetic materials that are used in a huge range of applications. Plastics pollution has a direct and deadly effect on wildlife. Thousands of seabirds and sea turtles, seals and other marine mammals are killed each year after ingesting plastic or getting entangled in it. Sea turtles can mistake floating plastic garbage for food. They can choke, sustain internal injury and die or starve by thinking they’re full from eating plastics. So how can we save the turtles? As a seafood consumer we should be responsible by asking where and how your seafood was caught. Choose seafood caught in ways that do not harm or kill turtles. Reduce using and throwing your plastics garbage that may entangle or be accidentally eaten by sea turtles. Participate in coastal clean-ups and reduce plastic use to keep our beaches and ocean clean. Trash in the ocean can harm sea turtles and other creatures that live there. Carry reusable water bottles and shopping bags, they'll likely end up in the ocean where sea turtles can mistake them for prey and consume them. Do not disturb nesting turtles, nests, or hatchlings. Attend organized sea turtle watches that know how to safely observe nesting sea turtles. From the lyrics of the song entitled “Earth” by Lil Dicky; “We love the earth it is our planet”. The earth is the most holy place in the Universe. Loving earth, and loving life is the way to generate positive vibration. SAVE THE TURTLES. And turtles... of course, all the turtles are free As turtles and, maybe, all the creatures should be.

Good sportsmanship is when people who are playing or watching a sport treat each other with respect. This includes players, parents, coaches, and officials. As we can see in the photo it’s not about competition, it’s about the dedication of the player. By being a good sport, you learn respect for others and self-control. These skills can help you manage many other parts of your life. They're also key to becoming a mature, respectful, and successful person. Just remember “Win or lose, do it fairly.” Just try and try until you reach success.
