Re: Future of the sea - Government Office for Science
Thank you for this WB.
Loads of good reading in this bundle.
The microplastic pollution is one area that truly worries me. It's so huge that I cannot see how it can ever be resolved and reading some information within this link showing there is even microplastic "dust" makes the horror even worse!
How can we as individuals really help reduce this pollution? It's all very well the Government producing this information, but will the suggestions be carried forward? Will manufacturers stop producing the pollutants? Are the manufacturers really to blame or are we as the consumers the culprits?
All questions that probably cannot be answered sadly.
