Earthworms Are Eating Plastic?!

Microplastics aren’t just in the ocean—they’re showing up inside earthworms, slugs, and even ladybugs in our local parks and gardens! Researchers found that 30% of earthworms had plastic in their stomachs, mostly from synthetic clothing fibers. This isn’t just gross—it could mess with soil health and even impact animals (and people!) higher up the food chain. If you want to help, try wearing more natural fabrics and wash synthetics less often. Wild, right? #microplastics #environment #earthworms #Science
