The oceans contain trillions of plastic pieces and in just 28 years, every single seabird will have plastic as a regular part of their diet. No, it is not good for them. Can it choke them to death? Yes. Are people scared? Apparently not- because in the last 50 years, plastic production has doubled.
The result? 3 out of 4 people have microplastics in their blood. That’s right- you too. It is not just floating around either. It could very well be large in any of your major organs as you are reading this. So what went wrong? How did we let this get out of hand?
