Living deep in the blue ocean is a family of small, little Sea Horses. Five to be exact. Three little children and two parents. Their home, which has never been untouched by humans, is a tropical area with seagrass beds, estuaries, coral reefs, and mangroves.
One sunny day, passing through the blue sea, a large cruise ship travels over the sea horse's home. The Sea Horses wait patiently, hiding in the seagrass beds, until the cruise ship passes them.
On the Cruise Ship, a person cleans their ears with a ear bud. Carelessly, flicks the nasty ear bud over the side of the rails. The little ear bud falls into the water. Because of the waves, the floating ear bug gets pushed deep into the water. It floats down until it lands in the seagrass beds. One of the sea horse children, curious as can be, wraps his tail around the ear bud. He takes it to his mom to show her his small little discovery.
Unfortunately, because of the nasty ear wax, the tail sticks to the delicate tail of the sea horse. For the rest of the Sea Horse's life, it couldn't swim correctly. Disabled. The Sea Horse is disabled for the rest of it's life. All because of one small decision. Make a change. What's more important...The Planet we live and breath on or Plastic?
