Microplastic pollution revealed ‘absolutely everywhere’ by new research
Contamination found across UK lakes and rivers, in US groundwater, along the Yangtze river and Spanish coast, and harbouring dangerous bacteria in Singapore
Microplastic everywhere —
the Yangtze, the U.K., the U.S.
Even in the rain in Spain.
Then there's that Singapore mess.
It's in our rivers, lakes and seas.
It's flowing to our oceans.

would not be inauspicious.
(And far cheaper, to be fair,
than letting them get Medicare.)
