This episode of Act Local will give you the ick, the ick for microplastic.

Australian Microplastic Assessment Project’s Dr Michelle Blewitt explains to Cam that the problem is microplastic is everywhere, it’s just often unseen.

We’re also consuming a disgusting amount of it weekly – even if you’re vegetarian. How much? Hit play and find out.
