This is a pictur os a juvenile olive ridley sea turtle. This turtle got tangled up in a rice bag. He has had this rice bag tangle to its flipper for so long that his little flipper got amputated by the rice bag. Thanks to the people that found this sea turle and help him take of the bag hurting it.
About 40 sea lions lounged on the rocks at the Benjamin Island haulout north of Juneau, and one was injured. A thin, white plastic packing band circled his neck and cut deep into his skin.
Two biologists studied the animal from a skiff 40 yards off the rocks. Lauri Jemison and Jamie King of the Alaska Department of Fish and Game discussed possible ways to free the entangled animal. None seemed very promising.
This sea lion had a plastic band tangled up on his neck. The plastic is cutting has cut its neck so much that its cutting it goes out for a swimm. I wonder how this sea lion is even breatning just because a person who cuoldn't wait to dispose of the garbage properly. I wonder is Jemison and King didn't find this marine mammal probably it wouldn't have his head any more.
To start please stop littering and if you see other people littering you tell them to stop and explain how he or she is affecting our world. 
The hazards plastics pose are numerous. The land gets littered by plastic bag garbage presenting an ugly and unhygienic seen. The “Throw away culture” results in these bags finding their way in to the city drainage system, the resulting blockage cases inconvenience, difficult in maintaining the drainage with increased cost, creates unhygienic environment resulting in health hazard and spreading of water borne diseases. This littering also reduces rate of rain water percolating, resulting in lowering of already low water levels in our cities. The soil fertility deteriorates as the plastic bags form part of manure remains in the soil for years.
PCE is suspected of causing cancers in humans, and its break-down product of trichloroethylene (TCE) is toxic. Additionally, chemicals and sewage are released into our rivers, streams, and lakes. According to the USEPA Toxic Release Inventory System, in 1996, businesses released 1,230,992 pounds of toxic chemicals in Linn county, and 13,940 pounds of toxic chemicals in Benton county (Oregon).
In one way or another we all have consumed certain toxic substances. Some are broken down and excreted while others bioaccumulate. Although the results of this bioaccumulation are not well understood in humans, it is suspected to cause various cancers, low sperm counts, immune system problems, learning disabilities, and birth defects.
