Saving Turtles Made Easy?

When imagining the beautiful beaches of Florida, most probably imagine tall condos, hotels, and apartments, with lots of people, but those beaches are not only home to immense tourism and residents. Many Florida sea turtles also call these beaches home, nesting there to lay and hatch their eggs. When these baby turtles hatch, in order to find their way to the brightest horizon, their instincts guide them toward the brightest horizon. However, due to bright lights from residential and business buildings, the hatchlings are often misguided, leading them in the wrong direction and to their tragic deaths.

^ ^ Exactly who we are fighting to save! ^ ^

The founder of The Sunday Print thinks he may have found a solution, with his new non-profit, HatchSafe. He discovered that sea turtle hatchlings cannot detect light with longer wavelengths, such as amber, orange, or red light, and that other precautions, such as angling the lights downward rather than outward, can help. With money as the only barrier, he decided there should be a solution, so he founded HatchSafe.

HatchSafe is a not-for-profit corporation that sells merchandise on its website, HatchSafe.org. All profits from the sale of merchandise are then put directly toward paying for beachfront buildings to implement turtle-friendly lighting.

By visiting HatchSafe.org and purchasing their clothing and merchandise, you get:

a) an extremely fashionable item of clothing( or other merchandise), and

b) the satisfaction and security of saving baby turtles with each dollar spent.

I implore you all to visit the website and check out the merch, and if you will not or can not buy anything, then you can help most by sharing this article or the HatchSafe.org webpage. Thank you.
