With an estimated 100,000 marine animals being choked, suffocated, or injured by plastic every year, the danger posed by the trillions of pieces of polymer floating in our oceans is well-known. However, given that most of the microplastics measure less than 0.5mm in diameter, collecting them is a challenging task. Now, some Dutch environmentalists have devised a way to not only capture plastic waste before it reaches the open seas and disintegrates, but to also use it to create a public park and wildlife sanctuary.

    Although this may seem very fun and helpful to you, this is actually obstructing the river for the cutest wildlife such as ducks and beavers. Although it is important to recycle, we are actually just further obstructing the rivers for animals.
