Plastic Patrol Conservation Tales © 2018 1 Plastic Patrol by Rebecca Tripp and Tom McConnell www.conservationtales.com/seaturtles Sea turtles are beautiful animals that need our help! Many species of sea turtles are endangered, and most of the rest are threatened. Some of the threats to the survival of these species is caused by humans. Sea turtles suffer injuries when they are hit by boats, and the beaches they need for laying eggs have been disturbed by development and human activity. But another major threat is the trash people put in the oceans. Used fishing gear, plastic bags, 6-pack holders, plastic straws and bottles, and many other types of trash have been found in the stomachs of sick and injured sea turtles. Sometimes these pieces of trash kill the sea turtles that eat them because they look like a sea turtle’s natural food. Even in you live far from the ocean, you can make a difference. Much of the plastic trash we throw away end up in rivers and streams that carry the trash to the ocean. If we reduce the amount of plastic we throw away, we can help protect sea turtles around the world. In this inquiry, you will collect data about the trash you produce and explore ways to reduce your plastic use. Driving Questions: How much plastic trash do you produce in a week? And where does that trash go? Objectives: • I can measure the amount of plastic trash I (or my class) produce in a week. • I can identify where my plastic trash ends up and its impact on wildlife. • I can discuss ways to reduce my plastic use and try some of the strategies I learn about. Link – Use this link in the first part of this lesson. (https://secure.greenpeace.org.uk/page/content/plastics-calculator) Prediction: In this box, write your Prediction: How many pounds or kilograms of plastic trash do you think you produce in a week?
