Why

  We hope to spread more awareness of the detrimental environmental impacts that plastic bags are having on the Earth and motivate others to act as well. Along with this, we are seeking to spread the knowledge about microplastics and their negative effects on the environment.

  To even begin to understand this topic, we need to first provide a definition on what microplastics are “tiny plastic particles that result from both commercial product development and the breakdown of larger plastics” (National Geographic Society).

  They are known to have negative effects on the environment, animals and even humans. The plastic bags that are given out at stores turn into these microplastics that continue to harm.
