Yeah I hope more people talk about the issue of microplastic. It is probably the second most urgent environmental issue, right after climate change

Right. Thankfully there is a global plastic pollution treaty in the works and organizations, such as The Ocean Cleanup, that are working to rid the oceans of plastics.
