At first glance this may appear to be a bubble, however it is about the farthest thing from a bubble. Many times, like shown here, plastic ends up in our rivers, lakes and streams. Often times plastic can be hard to see and it can blend into the environment. Whether plastic blends in or sticks out, it is equally a problem when it enters an ecosystem. Plastic does not degrade, but it will break down into much smaller pieces. This is when fish and other animals ingest the microplastics.
Plastic is intrusive, lasting, and non-degradable. It is up to us as individuals to make a change. If nothing is done soon, the damage may be irreversible. With that goes our clean supply of drinking water and a large portion of our food that many people are dependent on. The focus of this series is on single use plastics and litter. My hope is that by showing people how plastic gets incorporated into the environment it will spark a change. Minimize single use plastics and recycle as much as you can.
