Plastic waste

I think it's safe to say we all know plastic is a huge issue in the environment worldwide, one area of hot debate is microplastics and the impact they’re having on people, animals and the environment. You only need to walk down to the beach and see the plastic waste washed up on the shoreline. It’s affecting the sea life that can get tangled in the plastic and when the plastic breaks down in the ocean to micro-plastics which then enter the food chain. We’re eating the fish and the micro-plastic is then entering our bodies. They are now finding microplastics in our blood, and organs. Micro plastics have even been found in the placentas of unborn babies. It is estimated that by 2050 there will be more plastic in our oceans than fish by weight, which is why it is so important we eliminate single use plastic now.
