Green turtle

for the Green Turtle

Vulnerable

By Heny, age 12

Why? Because life is beautiful. Because the color and contrast of radiant dispersion. But the plastic, the hollow, empty, murky undergrowth of black spreads the ocean, the animals would bear to live, skating on thinnest ice. I’m Heny. I’m not here to talk about how to live your best life you imagine, but to change the way. Plastic, a chunk, made of mighty microplastics, that does not break down naturally, but slays all the wildlife, notably the marine mammals, where plastics pile onto the bottom of the abyss, that creatures mistake for food. We need to make a change. Not one plastic bag defines the death of hundreds, however one by one, stacked on of each other, its life all taken away. So what are you waiting for? Go. Recycle. Not for your own good, but remember, one, can change many.
