Microplastics have been found in food, water, our bodies, and now even in clouds, per aljazeeraenglish . A Japanese team of scientists “identified nine different types of polymers and one type of rubber in the airborne microplastics, which ranged in size from 7.1 to 94.6 micrometres. Each litre (0.26 gallon) of cloud water tested contained between 6.7 to 13.9 pieces of the plastics.” 

Microplastics could be associated with a range of developmental and reproductive health concerns, as well as cancers. For the sake of our planet, wildlife and human health and justice, we must urgently champion a strong, #GlobalPlasticsTreaty!
