NEW PAPER, JUST OUT! 👀
Insects from the '70s and '80s were already collecting microplastic, decades before the term microplastic even existed. 🤯
A thread on the surprising history of this pollutant and the incredible insect larvae that helped us uncover it. 🐛

More and more scientists point out the health risks of plastic. We eat, drink and breathe plastic. Help us turn off the plastic tap.

Today I had the honor of speaking about human health effects of #microplastics in one of the oldest zoos in the world: Artis in Amsterdam. Many companies present to learn how they can help solve the world’s plastic problem. Including many young people, inspiring to see the next generation caring!

Over HALF A MILLION people are saying NO to plastic pollution. Will the government listen and step up?
Today we went to @DefraGovUK HQ to hand in our 500,040-strong petition for a #GlobalPlasticsTreaty.
Next stop: the United Nations 💪
