The viral video is heartbreaking...

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

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?

fpbp

kek

This. Fuck Gaiumpf and fuck non people.

It's not viral if we all hide your thread

Sea Turtles eat jellyfish, which plastic resembles.

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.

Plastic is a naturally occurring substance.

Don't scape goat the humans.

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.

That turtle was a coke addict.

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.

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.

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.

how long and how soft they tried to pull that out was fuckin triggering

>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

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.

If the Dolphin rapes your sister, you win

those wont kill a dolphin

How can you be white if you don't pick up litter in your local communities?

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.

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.

Isn't God telling you to take care of the planet and animals in the Bible?

Find a better means of disposing trash and not in the ocean retards.

you give the situation a whole new presepective

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.

They did more damage removing that thing than it was causing in the first place.

How about you stop using shit made for children?

Kek

you are a colossal retard

I want to but then I realize it'll just get back to that state because people will just do it again.

>Caring for God's creatures
>Atheists
I wish you enjoy burining in hell retards. Why are americans so fat and retarded?

>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.

That flag is proportinally wrong.

oh look its another mentally sick animal lover people have more empathy for animals than humans video

how is this /pol related?

This is what Rethuglicans actually believe

Six garbage bags? wtf are you doing in there?

nah my trash goes in to a landfill hundreds of miles from the ocean

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.

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.

Did they prove that it was a plastic straw? In my opinion it looked like a sea straw.

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.

FPBP

How on shargs shores did a straw get that stuck?

Most of the pollution comes from third world shitholes with a majority nigger type population.

stupid ass turtle jamming straws into its head

Do it anyways. Also look to the Broken Window Effect

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

>useless plastic straws bad for animals and enviroment

Sup Forums
>le fuk dem sea turtles bunch of feggits, I want more suffering reee!!!!

How do you succeed in living like our ancestors? It is a dream of mine.

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.

Yeah poor turtle
Fucking excessive consumerism
Why not send trash to space or deep into the earth's core?

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.

>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

But when a dumb dog gets run over they go full autist dox mode.

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

>Going back to a small scale local Nationalist economy
>bankrupting the first world
You are what is known as a fucking retard tyrone.

>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.)

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!

Is it Indonesia that has dead bloated bodies floating in the oceans and rivers?

this. earth has been an asshole towards us for too long.

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.

note the flags on these replies

these '''''people'''' larp as national-socialists yet don't have an once of respect for the environment

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.

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.

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.

Jokes on you I hate straws. I don't use lids either

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.

Nature also tried to kill the turtles all that time. Turtles are our allies in converting jellyfish slime into usable profitable biomass.

They are acting like a bunch of chinks

top kek

keep them out of our lakes user

fuck those niggera down there

You should've just gone full Japanese on him.

>It might be mostly a token gesture, but...
Feel-good environmentalist signaling summarized.

Ironic considering that the one argument that could make me natsoc would be better protecting the environment. Poor animals...

that turtle has better healthcare coverage than most burgers, cool

Tell that turtle to not snort cocaine through fucking straws.

i used single use straws multiple times so i'm in the clear.

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.

do you also refuse to eat hotdogs and popsicles, tiny man?

This.

DELETE THIS

Capitalism is the BEST REEEEEE

Serious question, how long until these whale hugging faggots form a proper terrorist group? There's a jihad i can get behind.

Costa Rica is whiter than the United States at this point.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/European_Costa_Ricans

>Didn't litter
Littering is degenerate.

no but i also dont suck on them, strawfag. rather be a manlet than a faggot like you.

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?

K but did tortl died?

FIGHT TO THE END

...

No, because littering is against the law and the manufacture is simply producing straws.

>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.
