what are microplastics?
In: 6
Super tiny pieces of plastic. Unlike things like food scraps and much paper and wood (depending on chemical treatment) which will break down and return to the soil, plastic doesn’t. It breaks down smaller and smaller into micro sized bits and becomes so small it gets into the food supply of small organisms and then ends up in the bodies of larger organisms. It’s a huge problem and will continue to grow. Not the plastics, they are micro, but the micro plastic is a macro problem.
