Forests Are Quietly Filling Up With Microplastics From the Sky
New research reveals that forests trap airborne plastic particles through their canopies, accumulating concentrations in soil that rival urban environments.

New research reveals that forests trap airborne plastic particles through their canopies, accumulating concentrations in soil that rival urban environments.

Research shows we ingest thousands of microplastic particles weekly. Here are practical, evidence-based steps to lower your exposure at home.

The ocean absorbs billions of tons of CO2 annually, our biggest ally against climate change. New research shows microplastics may be disrupting this critical process.
