We may not see plastic bags floating in the ocean, but that’s not good news. Instead of breaking down as biodegradable plastics may do in soil and landfills, in cold ocean water plastics merely break into smaller plastics, which can last hundreds of years. Researchers detected these microplastics in 88% of the ocean surface they sampled. While we don’t yet know all the consequences of this, we do know that pollution is much more widespread than previously thought. Like if you agree that plastic winding up in the ocean is a global problem that needs a global solution.
