These are some micro-plastics found on the beach. Many scientists are saying that by 2050 there will be more plastic in the sea than fish, and that is unfortunatley true. Due to the food chain, these micro-plastics are also finding ways into our bodies. The fish eat the plastic and we eat the fish. We need to take action immediately! A simple way of avoiding this is by recycling and using reusable items instead of straws, plastic bags and so many more. Always remember: Reduce, Reuse and Recycle!
