MicroPlastics and Our Beautiful Birdlife

Microplastics appear so frequently in my news that I am suspecting I’m getting inured to it. I’m not caring about it as much as I should. I’ve recently seen articles on how plant life responds to microparticles, how it’s in fish, how massive loads of decaying plastic is being dredged from the sea, how there is so much in our environment we are ingesting the equivalent of a credit card a month.. but it’s the birds that upset me most.

What did THEY do to deserve this?
