I’ve posted this video at least twice over the last few years. I’m posting it again, because we need to remind ourselves of the damage our discarded plastic causes to marine wildlife. Description from YouTube:

This is the original video! Filmed by marine conservation biologist Christine Figgener, PhD. ***WARNING: Graphic Content & Inappropriate/ Strong Language!*** A research team led by Christine Figgener (Texas A&M University) found a male olive ridley sea turtle during an in-water research trip in Costa Rica. He had a 10-12 cm PLASTIC STRAW lodged in his nostril and they removed it. This video shows graphically why plastic waste is detrimental to marine life, especially single-use plastics (such as straws, which are one of the most redundant items). This turtle suffers from an item that is human-made and used by most of us frequently.
