Today we learned all about sea turtles! We also learned that these animals are also in trouble not only because of predators, but because people need to take better care of our environment. For instance, one small trash bag can fly around close to a river and end up in the ocean. When a poor sea turtle thinks that the bag looks like a jelly fish and eats it, the bag ends up in his stomach, causing him to end up starving. If everyone would just pick up one piece of trash a day, the world would be so much cleaner! This would benefit not only the animals, but ourselves!!! It is important for people to reduce, reuse and recycle! Everyone, at any age, can help! Small changes can really make a big difference! Thank you to Samantha, for our awesome NC Aquarium visit today! Korten's Crew is definitely passionate about making a positive change! The students will spread the word about all that we have learned today!
