Invasive Plant vs. Microplastics?!

Turns out, the super-annoying water hyacinth (yep, the one that takes over lakes) might actually help clean up microplastics! Scientists found these plants trap plastic bits on their roots without getting hurt. They even filter out some nasties before nutrients reach their leaves. Sure, they spread like crazy, but maybe we can use that to our advantage—imagine fighting pollution with a plant everyone wants gone anyway. Would you support using invasive species for good? #ScienceNews #Microplastics #NatureBasedSolutions #EcoFriendly #InvasiveSpecies #Science
