"51 trillion microplastic particles in the ocean. 500 x more than stars in our galaxy"...
Yes, we’ve covered this topic on the Smart Sustainability Show, and as summer kicks into high gear, it's time to bring the message back on the radar: leaving trash behind on beaches and picnics is inexcusable.
Toss a cup into a wetland, a stream, or just throw wrappers on the ground at a park picnic, and it doesn't just disappear:
- Land-based littering accounts for roughly 80% of ocean debris.
- Up to 86% of baby sea turtles end up ingesting this broken-down plastic —leading to fatal blockages and eventual starvation.
Have fun this summer, but stay aware. Pack out what you pack in...
Awareness starts at home by educating our kids. It's a parent's responsibility.

Gianluca speaking about antibiotic resistance on #microplatics in the
tyrrhenian sea @aslo_org. AMR is similar on natural particles and plastic, but very different from the water @AXAResearchFund
Very humbled by the opportunity to attend the plenary lecture of Daniel Pauly on the wide ranging consequences of industrial #fisheries, #warming, #microplatics and other human impacts on marine #fish and whole #ecosystems at #ASLO2023
🥳 Shout out here to the ✨amazing✨ collaborators in our #wildlife #microbiome & #microplatics project! @MarkMalloryLab @jenni_pro @juliaellenbaak @ChrisKPham @YazzRodrgz ❤️
I have a fabulous time at the EMEC22 conference in lovely Ljubljana. Different topics, from #microplatics and #nanoplastics in the environment, numerous other pollutants, to interesting exposure and toxicology test. I had my first-ever keynote lecturer. Tanks @FranjaProsenc
Dr Andy Booth @norway_badger Editorial Board Member of Cambridge Prisms Plastics is attending #MICRO2022

Ei! Who is attending #MICRO22 this week??
I will talk about modelling the transport of #microplatics in #nearshore waters 🌊 on Thursday 17 Nov at 9h (Lanzarote time)
(work in collaboration with D. Sous and @ZelgadisSorcier
)

Excited for #MICRO2022
I will be presenting my work tomorrow in the Margulis's room at 2pm on #microplatics in the Dublin Bay Prawn. Come join the session to find out more!
Bonus of arriving one day ahead: captured the amazing view from the hotel 😎
Looking forward to meet the fellows in #microplastics2022, especially the modeling session! Let’s upscale the work, from hydraulic source tracking of the #microplatics, from land to ocean!
Agree @TraceyJWoodruff, as #environmental #scientists we need to be framing the conversation on #microplatics first and foremost on their human & #planetary #health effects and not on how essential we think they may be.
Was sorry that this did not cover that plastic production has doubled since 2008 - so we have lived in post2000 without a lot of current plastics.
I'm presenting work on #landscape #anthropogenic disturbances of #wildlife gut #microbiomes at tonight's poster session, poster 547. I also have projects running on #microplatics in wildlife, so we can chat about that too. Grab a beer & join me to talk science at #ESEB2022 🍻
Interested in #anthropogenic disturbances of #wildlife gut #microbiomes? Come chat with me at #ESEB2022, poster 547, in S37 "Microbiomes in the wild: the drivers and #evolutionary consequences of microbiome #variation", where I'll be presenting our work published in @CommsBio 🥳
New paper (see thread) - While useful for assessing #microplatics in otters, large home ranges and a wide dietary niche breadth, mean that otter spraints likely provide poor indication of local MP levels @MfrcATU @UCD_Research @MicroplasticLab @EPAResearchNews @npwsBioData
Have you heard about #microplatics? If you've been following us you have! This is no longer a growing problem, but a threat to our health. Plastics don't go away. It's up to us to reduce the impact of plastics. What steps can you take? #ForOurEarthNaturally

Stay at @CEITEC_Brno finished. We used high-resolution #SEM microscopes made by @tescan_micro and @thermosciEMSpec for analysis of #microplatics. Thanks for the cooperation! @FMEbut
So happy and proud! Our newest publication :) Thanks to everyone involved. #microplatics #proteomics #SFB1357

Did you know that you could change your #waterfilter to minimize your #microplatics intake? Go check out our partner #Pura for some great water solutions 💧
UK laws tackle less than 1% of pollution from #Microplatics -but microplastics are represented to represent 50% of the UK's plastic pollution! Adding a #plasticpollution reduction target to the #environmentbill would solve this target -@michaelgove will you help make this happen?
We find fishing gloves on most of our cleanups. It’s unfortunate since they break down into #microplatics that can harm marine life. As a society, we need to adapt sustainable practices for the sake of our planet. One glove might not harm many marine lives, but together they can.
#plastic Why reduce, reuse, recycle? We should stop manufacturing #plastics ! The excuse of 3Rs is a veiled benevolent incentive for plastic manufacturing to continue.Oceans have been polluted by #microplatics.The cost of environmental damage outweighs existence of plastics.
