I HELP TURTLES
Hello from Kelly at Think Turtle Conservation Initiatives
We are pleased to announce that Think Turtle is launching a new car magnet.
This car magnet design is part of an awareness campaign to celebrate the people who help turtles and inspire others to join efforts to protect Ontario’s species at risk.
No one person can spread a message that promotes conservation and environmental sustainability as effectively as a team of caring and like-minded people. The simplest of messages, displayed in just the right way, can speak volumes.
Proudly displaying the I HELP Turtles car magnet on your vehicle may prompt consideration, conversation, and action. Together, we can make a difference!
About The Car Magnet
The car magnet is 5.25″ high and 5.25″ wide and die-cut in a circular shape. We went with yellow because it attracts the eye easily and will be noticeable to other motorists. We like that yellow is associated with positivity, caring and optimism, which is at the core of conservation efforts.
Going “mobile” with the I HELP Turtles message also reminds motorists in a friendly manner there are vehicle operators that help turtles across roads when it is safe to do so. The I HELP Turtles car magnets are $5 each.
Note: We have noticed that there are many makes and models of vehicles that a car magnet cannot be applied to the back end because it is plastic. A location on the back of many cars that is metal and a 5.25″ x 5.25″ car magnet will stick on the inset areas either side of the licence plate.
Purchasing Details
If interested in purchasing a car magnet, they are available via curbside pick-up at our office in L’amable, in-store purchase, mail order, and at upcoming events. Our next scheduled event is May 18th at the Bancroft Farmers’ Market, 9 am – 1 pm.

Pinback Buttons: The I HELP Turtles pin-back buttons are 1.5″ x 1.5″ and cute as a button. Each pin-back button has a metal pin for fastening to clothing, backpacks, jackets, hats, purses, bags, etc. The I HELP Turtles buttons are $2 each.

Note: Should you be interested in a t-shirt, bumper sticker or button please note these items are “NOT” available at Home Hardware. If interested in purchasing a t-shirt and having it shipped to a location within Ontario, shipping 1 x t-shirt (size small through to large) can be sent as over sized letter mail for $5 – $6. Larger sized t-shirts (XL – XXL) will need to be shipped as a package because they exceed Canada Post’s over sized letter mail requirements as well as multiple t-shirts purchases. We can check with the post prior to purchase to determine the exact shipping cost.

After costs, funds from the sale of each car magnet, t-shirt and button will go towards the education initiatives and species efforts Think Turtle Conservation Initiative is engaged in.
