The Fact a Day:
Did you know that…Plastic is the most prevalent type of debris found in oceans and lakes. Those that are less than 5 millimeters in length, or about the size of a sesame seed are called “Microplastics”. Microplastics come from a variety of sources, including larger plastic debris that breaks into small pieces, clothing & industrial processes.
Microbeads; are a type of microplastic that is found in health and beauty products, such as cleansers, soap & even toothpaste.
