The viral video is heartbreaking. Researchers in Costa Rica struggle to remove an obstruction from the nasal passage of a sea turtle. During the cringe-inducing effort, they realize they are battling a single-use, disposable straw.
These single-use conveniences are trashing the planet. There's not a beach around the globe that is free of this pollution. Our creeks, rivers, lakes and oceans are all fouled. Wildlife, such as the sea turtle, can confuse straws for food and cause themselves great harm.
A post-mortem just completed on a Cuvier’s beaked whale that was found dead on a Scottish beach determined the animal was killed by plastic pollution. The petroleum-based, polypropelene straw is an environmental nightmare, and it's time we WAKE UP. The United States alone uses over 500 million straws EVERY DAY. Stretched end to end, they could circle the globe 2 & 1/2 times.
Let's join together to end the use of plastic straws. Urge McDonald's, and its 14K U.S. locations, to stop using straws and start saving wildlife.
I just threw a bunch of plastic straws in the trash just to spite you. Your move atheists
Kayden Hall
Gotta love how that shit was handed badly by random faggots trying to please a bleeding heart bitch.
For all I know that turtle probably died soon after.
Fuck I hate these people.

I'd of made a giant bowl of soup

That video is from like 2006. Where the fuck have you been?

I saw this like 2 years ago lmao

The bong flag looks weird in black and white.

Nature spent millions of years trying to wipe out mankind with plagues, storms, fires, earthquakes, drought, famine, disease and predatory animals.
Now that we finally have the upper hand it wants to call a truce?

It's not viral if we all hide your thread
Mason Gutierrez
Sea Turtles eat jellyfish, which plastic resembles.
Evan Flores
people wanted plastics
hippies grew up and took power in the 80's and big in the 90's and consumers consumed. THE ONLY THING THAT WILL SAVE THIS PLANET...IS A FUCKING MASSIVE WAR.
80% OF THE WORLD MUST DIE SO THAT THE PLANET REMAINS INHABITABLE.
YOU CAN'T JUST CHOSE WHO STAYS AND WHO DIES.
BUT A WAR IS THE FAIREST WAY.
Cooper Sanchez
Plastic is a naturally occurring substance.
Don't scape goat the humans.
Ryan Thomas
Killing off humanity isn't going to fix the damage we've done, we just have to realize that nature is a part of the free market.
Mason Ward
That turtle was a coke addict.
Andrew Hall
Nice lol. Great minds think alike. I threw away a giant bag of plastic straws, forks, spoons, etc. in the breakroom at work the other day. Why? Because I didn't feel like putting them away after opening them. Suck a dick, sea turtle.
Ian Thomas
For the past 8 years I've literally flown from my home in Minnesota down to Florida at least once a week just to throw pic related into the ocean because a dolphin raped my sister once on vacation.
Cooper Nelson
Do you really think the U.S. pollutes anywhere near the levels as some other countries? There's a reason Brazil had to clean their beaches up for the Olympics because they were full of garbage and shit.
Christian Scott
how long and how soft they tried to pull that out was fuckin triggering
Matthew Bell
>hot dolphin-on-sister action Not gonna lie, that sounds pretty hot. Got pics/video? Regardless, I admire your commitment to environmental stewardship.
Dolphins BTFO
Colton Foster
reusable straws are the only way to go. Disposable is degenerate, don't be a poor fag invest in a quality food grade stainless steel like a high class gent.
Adam Rivera
If the Dolphin rapes your sister, you win
Connor Rodriguez
those wont kill a dolphin
Adam Rogers
How can you be white if you don't pick up litter in your local communities?
Hunter Rivera
It would be interesting if people started carrying re-usables: Fork, spoon, knife, straw, cup, plate, maybe napkin, all within a washable fanny pack or something, as well as rebelling against disposable wrapping and junk like that. It might be mostly a token gesture, but it would at least show support for environmentalism, opposition to mindless consumerism, and help people focus more on responsibility and sustainability. And it would be a way for people to show off and demonstrate their thoughtfulness and wealth.
Easton Cruz
I just threw all six of my garbage bags into the bay next to my apartment instead of the dumpster because I don't like you.
Eli Murphy
Isn't God telling you to take care of the planet and animals in the Bible?
Oliver Jackson
Find a better means of disposing trash and not in the ocean retards.
Jose Perry
you give the situation a whole new presepective
Cooper Kelly
also using straws is homosexual behavior. like sucking on a long dick that's constantly cumming in your mouth.
strawfags prefer that over drinking from the cup while slightly squeezing the cup to make an oval shape so its like a gaping, dripping wet pussy gushing out from the sheer pleasure of your manhood.
Luke Morales
They did more damage removing that thing than it was causing in the first place.
Chase Wood
How about you stop using shit made for children?
Ryder Ross

Samuel Harris
you are a colossal retard
Tyler Russell
I want to but then I realize it'll just get back to that state because people will just do it again.
Brandon Collins
>Caring for God's creatures >Atheists I wish you enjoy burining in hell retards. Why are americans so fat and retarded?
Christian Sanders
>b-but muh kids will never see polar bears! Oh no! Guess it's time to rewrite our understanding of human nature and economics so your kids can see the white bears. Liberals are fucking ridiculous. If animals didn't want to get murked, why didn't they evolve and do something about it beforehand? Once we have the technology to do so, let manufacturing thrive without waste and unnecessary suffering and all that other bullshit, by all means. Tying down industry and without a time table for how we could work within those regulations is fucking insane. Sorry, turtles. Should've developed thumbs.
Dylan Martin
That flag is proportinally wrong.
Ethan Allen
oh look its another mentally sick animal lover people have more empathy for animals than humans video
Levi Edwards
how is this /pol related?
Aaron Wilson
This is what Rethuglicans actually believe
Jayden Morris
Six garbage bags? wtf are you doing in there?
Caleb Davis
nah my trash goes in to a landfill hundreds of miles from the ocean
Asher Campbell
You all used to mock me for going back to the way of the ancients. It seems my life style is less harmful then yours.
Joseph Howard
Goddamn right it is. Keep advocating for bankrupting the first world human condition on a fucking turtle with a straw up its nose. Lifestyle libshits will never commit action to rhetoric with consideration to the withstanding implications such legislation would entail.
Tyler Campbell
Did they prove that it was a plastic straw? In my opinion it looked like a sea straw.
Kevin Murphy
China has smog so bad and indias rivers and flooded with trash. Africa is a war zone for conflict minerals. But its our fault and there is nothing you can do about it. Let it die.
Daniel Martinez

Gabriel Diaz
How on shargs shores did a straw get that stuck?
Eli Jones
Most of the pollution comes from third world shitholes with a majority nigger type population.
Samuel Parker
stupid ass turtle jamming straws into its head
Austin Green
Do it anyways. Also look to the Broken Window Effect
Caleb Torres
It actually comes mostly of Indonesia, look it up
Microplastics have already made their way into our food, again look it up if you don't believe it
Eli Nelson
>useless plastic straws bad for animals and enviroment
Sup Forums >le fuk dem sea turtles bunch of feggits, I want more suffering reee!!!!
Camden Peterson
How do you succeed in living like our ancestors? It is a dream of mine.
Isaac Nelson
Pretty much, the only thing to do now is to ensure that the environment/earth can sustain human life in the best conditions for our development. I am much more concerned about desertification and sea level rise than the fate (or lack thereof) any chelonii.
Jeremiah Flores
Yeah poor turtle Fucking excessive consumerism Why not send trash to space or deep into the earth's core?
Benjamin Parker
That's what i was thinking. The turtle looked okay, i assume most living beings with two nostrils can function well enough with just one, they made it bleed, who the fuck knows how much damage they did by removing that shit, like, why? Just because a woman feels bad for some sea creature, don't just do shit that might hurt it more, God damn.
Nathaniel Perry
>Oi look! I'm an American expert on economics! A retarded kikish economic system that has been in place only for less than 200 years and so far proven to be destructive, internationalist and a waste cannot be replaced because our jewish masters would be disappointed! This is how pathetic you sound
Ayden Garcia
But when a dumb dog gets run over they go full autist dox mode.
Alexander Allen
not one for eco shit but I hate how subhuman races dump all their shit in the ocean. Leave the turtles alone for fuck sake
Noah Brown
>Going back to a small scale local Nationalist economy >bankrupting the first world You are what is known as a fucking retard tyrone.
Camden Murphy
>Let's join together to end the use of plastic straws. Idiocy and clickbait. "We" produce too much plastic and it is too useful for us to stop. Even completely banning any particular plastic product will have a very small marginal effect (for fuck's same, the recommended YouTube videos for OP's include with the same thing happening with a plastic fork). If you want to quote-unquote save the planet, work on better plastics and better ways to destroy existing plastic, especially plastic that's already in the Earth's oceans. Oh wait, what's that? You can't do it because you're an IQ 105 "activist" with no skills besides psychological manipulation? Then GTFO and don't create resource-wasting, government-growing distractions. (Unless your goal is to make a career out of this.)
Jayden Smith
It's funny, my heart bleeds for animals, but when it comes to non white subhumans i feel no more for them than i do for an insect. Glad that turtle survived!
Ethan Russell
Is it Indonesia that has dead bloated bodies floating in the oceans and rivers?
Liam Peterson
this. earth has been an asshole towards us for too long.
Colton Collins
That's actually the real redpill on the enviroment. The reason they are pushing """global warming""" is to divert attention of gullable retards from the actual problem - pollution and garbage. Because then (((they))) would be under attack for consumerism culture and tonns of fucking plastic thrown into the enviroment because of it.
Thomas Ortiz
note the flags on these replies
these '''''people'''' larp as national-socialists yet don't have an once of respect for the environment
Matthew Brown
They tortured that poor thing just because she couldn't wait to have her facebook video ready. Not like they couldn't wait to take it to a vet and sedate it or something and let professionals deal with the thing.
Jacob Campbell
I am right wing, red pilled, whatever, but environmental issues come as a priority, I believe animals has more of a right to exist than humans.
Noah Jackson
Shouldn't have dropped out of school, pissboy. You're obviously ashamed of your flag so it's difficult to tell the extent of excess you're familiar with, but seeing as how you're on a computer and using the Internet, the lifestyle we enjoy is impossible without tremendous waste. If you're bitching, you better be working on getting out. Otherwise, shut the fuck up. >small scale local nationalist economy >going back >implying your shower thoughts are a solution to economic waste Not how it works, shithead. Money moves up in scale, not down.
Hudson Gonzalez
Jokes on you I hate straws. I don't use lids either
Blake Edwards
Poor little thing. This sea turtle was the only one to survive among his 1000 brothers and then this is how he goes out.
Fuck capitalism and endless consumerism.
Michael Peterson
Nature also tried to kill the turtles all that time. Turtles are our allies in converting jellyfish slime into usable profitable biomass.
Christian Barnes
They are acting like a bunch of chinks

Ironic considering that the one argument that could make me natsoc would be better protecting the environment. Poor animals...
Cooper Adams
that turtle has better healthcare coverage than most burgers, cool
Tyler Martin
Tell that turtle to not snort cocaine through fucking straws.
Caleb Cruz
i used single use straws multiple times so i'm in the clear.
Oliver Hughes
Researchers in Costa Rica - Costa Rica. And yet they blame Americans and Europeans for all the plastic in the ocean. I bet if you try to source the plastic bags etc. it most probably comes from 3rd world countries that don't know shit about recycling.
Josiah Parker
do you also refuse to eat hotdogs and popsicles, tiny man?
Sebastian Parker
This.

Noah Powell
Serious question, how long until these whale hugging faggots form a proper terrorist group? There's a jihad i can get behind.
no but i also dont suck on them, strawfag. rather be a manlet than a faggot like you.
Colton Jackson
Everyone is arguing about whether it's moral to use and discard plastic straws.
How about whether it's moral to PRODUCE them? Don't the manufacturer of these bear any responsibility for the environment?
Jose Jenkins
K but did tortl died?
Jason Evans
FIGHT TO THE END
Owen Watson

Aaron Powell
No, because littering is against the law and the manufacture is simply producing straws.
Zachary Thomas
>Shouldn't have dropped out of school, pissboy. I'm currently studying a degree to hopefully solve many of the problems your retarded kike system has created.
>You're obviously ashamed of your flag The only flag I would be ashamed to use is the a*erican.
>the lifestyle we enjoy is impossible without tremendous waste. Not and argument and believing this is living proof you have some sort of mental deficiency.
> Money moves up in scale, not down. Only since your jewish overlords created the federal reserve, mr expert.
People like you who unironically consider themselves superior for defending neoliberal and other sorts of kike policies are the reason I will enjoy when everything goes to shit. Good night retard.
