Summary

18 of 18 beaches around the world have been found to have microplastics. And 1/4 of fish tested in markets in California were found to have microplastics in them.

 

We've yet to understand the impacts of microplastic pollution on a global scale over time, but here I share some new things I learned over the weekend in terms of what we already know, as well as 2 ways we can begin to help to address this more challenging issue as individuals.

 

Are you working on an important research or project to help address microplastic pollution, or know of one you'd like to share? Get in touch via GreenDreamer.com so we can learn from you and support your work!
