MICROPLASTICS JUST CRAWLED INTO YOUR SALAD...
Scientists just found microplastics inside earthworms, beetles, slugs, and snails.
Which means your backyard food chain is now basically polyester-flavored.
Some bugs had plastic fibers a quarter the length of their body.
One beetle was rocking a nylon thread like a digestive runway model.
Source? Likely clothing fibers flushed out in sewage sludge and used as farm fertilizer.
Yes, your yoga pants might be feeding garden worms.
This marks the 1st time microplastics have been found across entire land-based ecosystems: from dirt-eating worms to the birds and mammals that eat them.
Congrats to all of us: the plastic crisis just went even more micro...
