What are Microplastics?

26:53

What are Microplastics?

Microplastics are everywhere, even in our water. What are microplastics? Over time plastic items begin to break down into smaller pieces, but never biodegrade. Plastic never disappears, rather it just gets smaller and smaller. Microplastics are tiny pieces of plastic smaller than a grain of rice. At this size, it becomes very difficult to remove it from the environment and it becomes a threat to the health of wildlife, ecosystems and humans health! Keep Pinellas Beautiful's mission is to conserve and beautify our natural environment by means of community engagement and education. Keep Pinellas Beautiful's Microplastic Program was formed to spread microplastic awareness and education throughout the Tampa Bay community, and beyond. Keep Pinellas Beautiful provides volunteer opportunities that develop individual responsibility and environmental stewardship. Through hands on participation, people are motivated and inspired with an environmental focus that develops into a true sense of pride and ownership. For more information on microplastics, check out the Florida Microplastic Awareness Project of the University of Florida IFAS Extension's webpage (http://sfyl.ifas.ufl.edu/flagler/marine-and-coastal/microplastics/) Take the pledge to limit your use of single-use plastics!
