James Brady+FollowWildlife Sanctuaries Hit by Plastic CrisisDid you know tiny plastic pellets called nurdles are invading even our most protected wildlife sanctuaries? Researchers found these microplastics in 84% of the UK’s special nature sites—yep, the places meant to be safe from pollution. Animals are eating them, and they’re ending up in our food chain too. It’s wild (and not in a good way). Cutting back on single-use plastics and being smarter about recycling can actually help! #Science #PlasticPollution #WildlifeProtection00Share
megangibson+FollowBarcelona’s Beaches Hit by Fake Grass Plastic?!Did you know artificial grass is now a major plastic polluter in Barcelona’s seawater? Scientists found that 15% of larger plastic pieces floating near the city’s coast are actually from fake turf! Turns out, all those sports fields and lawns are shedding plastic fibers into the ocean, and it’s harming marine life. Maybe it’s time to rethink that perfect green lawn and go for native plants instead. Wild, right? #Science #PlasticPollution #Barcelona10Share
