Did you know?
One of the worst things about plastics is that it never really goes away -
which means every single piece of plastic we’ve ever created is still on the
planet somewhere. This includes every paddleboard which has ever been
made! It will be on the planet in some form or another.
What Are
Microplastics ?
When the sun shines on the plastics
in our ocean they start to break down
into tiny pieces. That makes it really
difficult for us to see them, and even
more difficult for us to get rid of
them. We call them micro plastics.
Plastic Soup
Scientists use the term ‘plastic
soup’ to describe the areas
where plastics have polluted our
waters. Can you imagine eating
that ?! Yuck !
DREAM TEAM TIP:
Microplastics might be tiny, but they
have a big impact as they gather
up the food chain. Stopping plastic
from entering the sea in the first
place is the best way to tackle
them !
