Plastik di lautan, penyu yang kejebak sedotan, dan kampanye anti-buang-sampah Australia!
Bayangin ini… Monita lagi scroll medsos, nemu video YouTube soal plastik di lautan. "It's bad for the oceans and the animals there," katanya. Lumba-lumba dan singa laut makan plastik atau terlilit plastik. Dan ada satu kisah yang bikin merinding: tim ilmuwan dari Texas University nemu penyu yang hidungnya kemasukan SEDOTAN PLASTIK! Butuh 10 menit buat nariknya pake tang. Sedih, marah, merinding — tapi dari sini kita belajar kenapa kita harus sayang lautan! 🐢
Kisah nyata: ilmuwan nemu sedotan plastik di hidung seekor penyu!
A team of scientists from Texas University helped an injured sea turtle when they sailed in the ocean near Costa Rica.
They were collecting data on sea turtles when they saw the injured turtle. They noticed something in the turtle's nostril — but they initially thought it was only a worm.
They were curious, so they caught the turtle to examine it. They extracted a couple of centimeters of the object with pliers. The object came out. It was wrinkled and brownish.
It was a plastic drinking straw! They spent almost ten minutes pulling it out of the nostril. The nostril was bleeding, but the turtle was safe. The straw incident proved how dangerous plastic was to animals in the oceans.

| nostril | lubang hidung |
| extract | menarik/mencabut |
| pliers | tang |
| bleed | berdarah |
| parasite | parasit |
| plastic straw | sedotan plastik |
| brownish | kecoklatan |
| entangled | terlilit |
Dari video YouTube yang ditonton Monita: plastik di lautan itu masalah BESAR.
Orang pakai banyak plastik & nggak reuse/recycle → sampah plastik nyampe ke lautan.
Dolphins & sea lions makan plastik atau terlilit (entangled) plastik.
Penyu laut kejebak sedotan — bikin sedih & marah sekaligus.
Tanya detail kejadian masa lalu dengan What / When / Where / Why / How:
| Pertanyaan | Dipake buat nanya |
|---|---|
| What did the plastic trash do to the sea animals? | What = detail tentang SESUATU |
| How did it happen? | How = cara terjadinya |
| How much plastic was there in the oceans? | was/were + how much = jumlah |
| Where did they remove the plastic? | Where = tempat |
Australia punya kampanye anti-buang-sampah yang sukses banget:
Kampanye 'Tosser!' dimulai di New South Wales (NSW), Australia — bagian dari Litter Prevention Strategy.
Pemerintah NSW investasi $17 juta buat iklan di TV, radio, billboard, dan online.
Litter di NSW turun 43% (2014–2020) — dibanding 19% rata-rata nasional. 95% masyarakat setuju!
