Microplastic at plankton scale (copyright Dr Richard Kirby).\u00a0 These little sea creatures get tangled in plastic fibres and eat plastic particles.\u00a0 Fish eat plankton.\u00a0 We eat fish.\u00a0 Look at @PlanktonPundit\u2019s tweets to see amazing and beautiful images and videos of plankton wrestling with and ingesting microplastic<\/em>.\u00a0 Or visit Richard’s website<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n

Want to do something good to help curb the tide of plastic pollution?\u00a0 There’s something you can buy which will help.\u00a0 (Read on – Black Friday is 24th Nov. so shop early!).<\/p>\n

We’ve all seen pictures of plastic bags choking turtles, filling the stomachs of albatrosses and killing their chicks and lacerating the necks of seals but if you own a fleece, socks or any other clothes made with synthetic fibres like polyester, acrylic or nylon,\u00a0microplastic fibres will be escaping from your washing machine every time you wash.\u00a0 They go down our drains by the billion upon billion, and into the environment, where they are irretrievably small.<\/p>\n
