Looking at this image, I can see a turtle in the sea with a garbage sign on the side of its shell. This picture shows the amount of disrespect and disregard humans have for turtles and their health. I think the author is trying to portray the idea of respect for ocean life and how they are not respected by humans. Turtle’s as creatures who play a major part in ocean life have become victims of the waste of humans. The creatures have been consuming trash for a long time now, causing great harm to their health and chance of survival. Plastic bags, plastic straws, and other trash are very commonly mistaken as food by the turtles, leading them to great consequences. Considering these problems, the picture above should be seen as a reminder of the great need to reuse and recycle so that turtles don’t have to consume our waste. The image shown above made me aware of the problems that arise within ocean life and how we need to make a change. Ultimately, this picture raises awareness of things ocean life has to go through, and how common it is for it to be disrespected.
