"A turtle inspired us to fight plastic pollution"

A couple who have seen the "scary" impact of plastic pollution while traveling want to encourage others to make "simple changes".

Tommie Eaton and Rebecca Dudbridge of Hitchin, Hertfordshire were so surprised to see a turtle in the middle of a "plastic wave" that they started a company that sold toothbrushes with recyclable bamboo handles.

It is estimated that eight million tons of plastic enter our oceans every year.

The couple said people shouldn't focus on the negative, but "take one step at a time."
