Your plastic bag may only mean a few seconds for you, but it could mean the life to those we share this planet with. Refuse and reduce single use plastic bags ~ use your reusable bags for life! Simple. #noexcuseforsingleuseplastic #fortheoceans #dolphindefence

This is why we do what we do!

Pregnant sperm whale that washed up in Sardinia, Italy, last week had 22 kilograms of plastic in its stomach, and was carrying a dead foetus.

No animal should suffer due to our actions.
