Did you know that plastic waste is so widespread across our planet
that it can be found even in the far north, in the Arctic Ocean? Plastic
ends up in the environment in many di􀀀erent ways, and researchers
are trying to figure out how this pollution a􀀀ects the animals and
plants living in environments that contain plastic waste. Here comes
a message in a bottle from the North Pole, telling you a story about
tiny pieces of plastic in the Arctic Ocean. How is it even possible
for plastic waste to reach the Arctic Ocean? What happens to the
plastic once it is there? Is the plastic harming Arctic animals? And
how can we prevent plastic pollution? Join us on a chilling story
about plastic pollution in our northernmost waters: the fascinating
Arctic Ocean.
