Hello everyone!
My name is Turtle and I am from the Testudines order, you can even search me on Google. I know you humans are obsessed with those internet things or how you call them. I am a turtle as you can see in the image above, but don't compare me with my cousins: the tortoises and terrapins. It is easy to make the difference, I am fully acvatic, we only go on the land when our eggs have to hatch. My tortoise cousin stays most of the time on the land, they don't even visit me and that breaks my heart, but I also understand why... and the other cousins, the terrapins they can both live in water and on land.
Now that I presented myself... I want to tell you a story.
When my egg hatched (well I don't really remember when that was, i don't know how many years I have, short memory, but I know there are some years since then) I opened my eyes and I saw a beautiful landscape around me. My mama' and my family was so happy, everything was perfect. I was born on the land... and after that we came into the ocean, it was clean at that moment of time. The years have passed and then the real disaster started to show up. MY MAMA' DIED. I was devastated, I had to take care of my little brothers, they were so small and cute, their eggs just hatched. How mama' died? She got caught in a 6 pack plastic from some sodas.Humans throw into water a lot of crazy things.
After that sad episode of my life I tried to be cautious, but it was pointless... the water stared to be more and more contaminated by those things that made my mama die, but not just those, they gain other shapes and colours, everyone was scared by them, they were like monsters, even Derek, my best friend which is not necessarily the most handsome fish in the ocean, got scared by those things.
(Me and Derek)One day he ate by mistake a small notebook... he had such a bad constipation that time. Oh, poor Derek...It is so hard for him and his brothers to make a difference between the things that he eat, with those small eyes — he just open his mouth and eat.
Going further, most of my little brothers also died because of plastic bags, they don't listen when I tell them to take care of what they eat. Little brothers can be such a pain of mind. And...here is me, even if I was very cautious not to eat something bad, those plastics disintegrated into the water somehow and provoked me a cancer, you can see me in the image. Now...I don't have many days left and I choose to tell you this story. I hope you are aware and will protect my family from now on.
We need help, please!
