PROGRAM A new environmental issue has quickly grabbed public attention: microplastics, found everywhere, from the bottom of the ocean to our bloodstreams. Amazingly, each of us ingests a credit card’s worth of plastics weekly-- to unknown effect-- and microplastic particles in the ocean now outnumber the stars in our galaxy. While research reveals new information almost daily, what don’t we yet know about microplastics? What surprising ways do they get into the ocean-- and into us? And most importantly, what do we do about it?
