I wonder animals don’t know what plastic is when they see it in the environment and can mistake it for other things like food one example of this is sea turtles that eat plastic from the shopping bags sea turtles eat jellyfish is part of the natural diet when plastic bags break apart in the ocean and float around they look a bit like jellyfish sea turtles eat the plastic bags because they think it’s a jellyfish and this can hurt them a good way to reduce the amount of plastic bags we use is to use material bags that are reusable or sturdier bags. We don’t throw out when we get home.
