I was watching the news a few weeks ago and there was an article about knitting jumpers for tiny penguins.

Here’s a quote from the Penguin Foundation, Phillip Island website: “Oil pollution is a serious threat to little penguins. When penguins become oiled, they will try to preen and clean the toxic oil from their feathers, ingesting it can kill them. It also damages their delicate feathers which exposes their skin to cold temperatures and they are left cold, heavy and unable to swim or hunt for food.”
