Why?

For 3 years of undergrad, I worked in a lab where we researched the amount of microplastics found in Lake Superior. Working with microplastics is tedious and they never cooperate. You can barely touch one and it's been flung off into outer space. Oh yeah, they're probably also not good for us. They're found in water, beer, fish, sand, take a really close look at your fingertips, I bet there are a few there right now. Believe me when I say "microplastics suck"
