Reduce Reuse Recycle!!!!

So I have been trying to use less and less to avoid leaving my carbon footprint on this earth but after this weekend I got a taste of what it can really do to the creatures around us. Tim and I took a little day trip across the bridge and visited that Marine Mammal Center, which is basically a hospital for Marine Mammal's that get washed ashore because of injuries. We learned that most injuries are caused by the trash that gets washed to sea. Our Trash! Here are a few photos of our day.
The view from our drive so crazy how such a big city can look so small from up here.

the following photos are animal art sculptures made from trash that was found in the ocean
many sea turtles die from ingesting trash that suffocates them to death
This sea star was made from glass bottles and pieces that were found in the water
A fish made from plastic and rope garbage found in the ocean
This Jelly Fish was made from plastic water bottles found in the ocean
A little seal made from trash
this is what it looks like to fish swimming through all the trash
the actual size of the Elephant seal it's even taller than Tim
How cute is this little seal sculpture looking out at the view.
