Endangered Baby turtles struggle to reach the sea through the rubbish.

With so much plastic rubbish dumped into the ocean turtle nesting sites are being covered with the stuff as it is washed onto turtle nesting beaches.
Here, some rare footage shows the baby turtles as they struggle to reach the water through the garbage. www.take3.org.au promotes the cleaning of beaches by asking every beach user to take 3 pieces of plastic away from the beach as they go home.

I shared this on Facebook, too.

I think it is just as sad that these turtles will come back to this same trash covered beach to lay their own eggs.....what will be waiting for them in 30 years or so?
