Background
Every single beach in the UK has microplastics on it creating risk for the biodiversity of our country. The clothes we discard after little uses and are created unethically cause the increase of climate change. The plastic that isn't recycled, harms our seas and coastal areas Killing many birds and fish. Millions of children in schools CANNOT recycle meaning that much of the plastic pollution can be caused by schools and the innocence of children some as young as 4.
