#repost by @projeto_marvivo 🐢This sad but ultimately uplifting video of a turtle ...

... rescued from being trapped in fishing net helps to show why over 1 million marine animals - dolphin, fish, sharks, turtles and birds-are killed each year due to plastic debris in the ocean as kind-hearted people like this aren't always around to cut these poor animals free from the nets that trap them.
There's an estimated 100 million tons of plastic in oceans around the world...and nearly half of that plastic waste is fishing nets like this! We are determined to stop this madness before it's too late, especially considering there's even more #plasticpollution on land too and spreading awareness about this crisis is the first step so please share this video with your followers and tag people in the comments who need to be made aware of this situation ASAP! It's we the people who must influence corporations and governments to change their behavior and laws so it's crucial we WORK TOGETHER ASAP to make this a world that's safe for humans and animals alike! Will you join us in this fight and help us spread awareness?
