Oceanic and atmospheric circulation, like currents and wind, move these tiny, sesame-seed sized plastics to every part of the globe, infecting our waterways, agriculture, and wildlife. The plastic crisis shows just how connected the planet really is, and the detrimental impacts plastics have on both aquatic and human health are felt globally.
