Don't throw that bottle cap!

Imagine this you throw a bottle cap on the street and do you know where it ends up? It ends up in a drain. When it rains and  it goes to the sea and a sea creature like a turtle will eat it and it will die.
So, from just throwing a bottle cap on the street it ends up that a sea creature died.  

It kills the turtle because the bottle cap is made from plasic and plastic's main ingredient is oil. So it's like the turtle is drinking oil. Can we drink oil? no we can't drink oil. 

It is the same thing with everything else that is plastic like a plastic bag for example. Turtles like to eat jellyfish and a plastic bag looks like a jellyfish so they're going to eat it and die and it's happening to fish as well, what would happen if a fish eats a piece of plastic and you eat that fish for dinner! 

In Hawaii there's this island where huge seagulls live and they have a wingspan of three metres, they have baby seagulls and when the mother & father seagull go out to get food there are big whirlpools where all the rubbish goes and the seagulls pick it up because it looks like food and give it to the baby seagulls and they die.

So are you going to litter on the street now ? 

... because it actually ends up killing a sea creature.
