Today is National Wildlife day. A day to raise awareness for the wildlife around the world that are being affected by human actions and at risk of endangerment or even extinction.
Swipe through to see 24 species paying the ultimate price for our single-use habits. From the Albatross mistaking bottle caps for food, to Sea Turtles unable to differentiate a plastic bag from a jellyfish, plastic pollution isn’t just an eyesore—it’s an extinction threat.
Every year, millions of marine animals ingest or become entangled in our waste. The crisis is large, but our collective choices can be larger.
How you can help today:
1️⃣ Refuse single-use plastics and switch to reusable solutions
2️⃣ Participate in or host a local cleanup.
3️⃣ Support policies that hold plastic producers accountable.
