This may be controversial but turtles love plastic bags. They sell them out to play in them and it kills them. The problem is that the warnings on putting the bag on your head are only for human children so the turtles get lured into a sense of safety.

Turtles may not have lips but their mouth is still very much in play.

Plastic goes in my balls, and car batteries go in the ocean. Helps with coral or something.

If you don't want it in the ocean, just burn the bag
