I recently watched a YouTube documentary titled Tribulations of Sea Turtles that shed light on how sea turtles choke on plastic bags in Kilifi. It was not just another sad environmental story, it was personal. Those bags, indistinguishable from the ones I may have mindlessly tossed after one use, have become silent killers.
It’s ironic, isn’t it? Plastic, invented in the early 1900s to protect nature as a substitute for scarce natural resources like ivory and tortoiseshell, is now its greatest tormentor.
