"Current wastewater management infrastructure, nowhere is it designed to collect microfibres, so it just goes straight down and ends up in the ocean."

Antarctica 'is dying' and two everyday human activities are fueling the decline, an expert says https://t.co/oOUuCgpLPE

"We found microfibres, fibres that probably come from synthetic clothing, in every sample we took."

"And what is interesting is the majority of our fibres were red and blue."

"Don't know why, but it was a stark observation across all the samples."

"Plastic rocks are concerning because they can shed microplastics into the environment. These plastic fragments can be transported long distances through the atmosphere and oceans, can penetrate plant tissues and might be mistaken for food by animals, including fish and birds."

How much plastic leaves our body naturally? And what happens to the remaining? How long we can survive?

[Paul Peace @EcoPaulPeace]

When we think about cutting junk out of our diets, the culprits shouldn’t just be candy and soda – plastic needs to go, too."
