As they wear down, toxic particles wash from roads into waterways and harm wildlife. But scientists have found a cheap fix: biofilters made from wood chips and plant waste.

One of the biggest microplastic pollution sources isn’t straws or grocery bags – it’s your tires
Rain storms wash those tire shards into streams and ultimately into lakes and oceans. That’s bad news for fish and other aquatic life.
