A video of a turtle with a straw up its nose went viral in 2015, sparking a global awareness of plastic pollution. Since then, the turtle has become a symbol of the plastic pollution crisis, leading to bans on disposable plastic straws and bags in many countries. However, despite these efforts, half of sea turtles still ingest plastic, leading to thousands of deaths each year. To address this issue, it is crucial to pressure corporations and advocate for legislation, while also focusing on reducing plastic production and implementing initiatives to collect and recycle plastic waste. Additionally, cutting plastic pollution is essential for addressing the climate crisis, as plastic production generates about 4% of global emissions. The rising temperatures caused by these emissions have serious consequences for marine life, including sea turtles. The video serves as a reminder of the urgent need to phase out single-use plastics.

A study conducted by researchers at Jiangnan University in China has found that biodegradable plastics, known as bioplastics, may have a negative impact on soil quality and plant growth. The researchers collected soil samples from a forested area and added conventional microplastics and bio-microplastics to some of the samples. After just 10 days, the bio-microplastics significantly reduced key minerals in the soil, lowered microbial diversity, and stunted plant growth. The study suggests that biodegradable plastics may not be a safe and sustainable alternative to conventional plastics and their use should be carefully considered. [Extracted from the article]

Marine animals may be more likely to consume biodegradable plastics than conventional plastics, which could potentially harm wildlife more than previously thought. Researchers at the University of Queensland tested fishing lures made from biodegradable, semi-biodegradable, and normal plastic in seawater. The biodegradable lures experienced significant weight changes due to water content, which could potentially block the guts of fish if ingested. Beach-dwelling soldier crabs and green paddle worms predominantly consumed the biodegradable lures, indicating that bioplastics may be attractive as food to marine life. While the full impact of bioplastics on health is still unknown, they can contain chemicals that have adverse effects on wildlife. [Extracted from the article]
