Can you put yourself in the shoes of another?🥾🦈🐟🐬🐳
We can't possibly understand the exact feeling of another person or animal, but we can try - and this is empathy. Studies show a significant drop in empathy in our modern society - If we are losing our empathetic sense towards each other, then what's left for our fellow species we share our planet with?
Plastic litter in the ocean can cause poisoning, blockage, entanglement, starvation, and more. Marine animals die suffering because of the plastic we are so careless about. Do you feel their pain? Or imagine how they feel?
It has been determined that each year, approximately 100 MILLION marine animals are killed by plastics, among them 100,000 marine mammals and turtles and about 1 million sea birds. Plastic kills 40% of young sea turtle hatchlings who are four times more likely to be killed than adults.
Let's think twice before we use single-use plastics.
Let's put ourselves in their "shoes."
