The proliferation of microplastics in our oceans has received worldwide attention. However, the abundance of the tiny plastic fragments in the soil has largely gone unnoticed. A 2018 study by German scientists found terrestrial microplastic pollution — caused by wastewater irrigation and sewage — far exceeds marine microplastic pollution.

        This is a important day, because my sister favorite tree that she grew from a seed herself turns one today. I know it is sort of silly, celebrating a tree's birthday, but it is fun.

        That cool! There is also a bacteria that consumes trash, but we should not need this in the first place. Anyway, happy earth day!
