"Melt this at home": keeping plastic bag waste ‬from getting into the ocean

Working with fellow National Geographic Emerging Explorer Jose Orteaga of Nicaragua, we are trying to come up with ideas for protecting marine life, like the endangered sea turtles, that you can do at home. Reducing the number of plastic bags that get into the ocean is one way, because turtles mistake plastic bags for jellyfish and get them lodged in their throats and die. By simply melting your plastic bags into compact lumps using a typical household deep fryer you can ensure they never get to the ocean
