Humans have been damaging the environment and the flora and fauna of this planet at a very rapid rate for the past few centuries. With the advent of industrialization and invention of more and more polluting power sources, the quest of man for a better life is taking a toll on the environment of the planet. Animals, birds, aqua flora and fauna are all affected badly by our actions and events like global warming are threatening the very existence of humans on Earth.
The following 10 heartbreaking pictures show perfectly the way we have laid waste to our planet which has given us everything from shelter to food to life itself. If we don’t stop now and take steps in saving the Earth, we may lose everything in the coming 100 years.

The plastic ring stuck to this turtle’s stomach prevented the waist from growing, as the turtle grew. It is pretty common to see turtles and tortoises getting stuck in the waste that is dumped in the sea purely due to carelessness of humans.

This is one of the most heartbreaking pictures in which the insides of an albatross are seen. You can actually see bottle caps, plastic caps and many more plastic items in its abdomen. It clearly died of excess plastic ingestion, which was not digested by its system and ultimately killed the bird. When you throw out things like that without recycling them, you are not cleaning your houses, but you are killing innocent animals.
