• Researchers in the US have found enough plastics
  • to make over 120 million bottles fell to Earth in just 11 sites.
  • It’s breaking down in particles so small you could be breathing them in.
  • There could be 11 billion tonnes of environmental plastics by 2025.

If you saw 120 plastic bottles fall from the sky, you’d be right to feel concerned. But what if that number was multiplied by a million?

That’s equivalent to the amount of microplastics that fall on just 11 national parks and wilderness areas in the United States annually, according to new research – more than 1,000 tonnes in those areas alone.
