The sand of some beaches consists of up to 3% microplastic, with an increasing trend.
A person absorbs 5 grams of microplastic per week through breathing or eating.
In Germany, 60,000 to 110,000 tonnes of microplastics are released into the environment from tyre wear.
**HSBI Share Rewards and Planet Token for using rubbish bins correctly
There is a challenge to use the rubbish bins properly. Unfortunately, it happens far too often that people just throw their rubbish, cigarettes or other things on the floor and leave them there.
This rubbish then goes somewhere, but not where it belongs.
You often see green parks in the city where rubbish patches have formed.
If we all dispose of our rubbish properly, we can already beautify a large part of these places without any effort.
In addition, the animals in nature are also better off. It is not there fault, but they eat some of it.
The challenge of @eddwood is about simply showing how to dispose of rubbish properly.
You don't have to write a long post. Just take a picture of how you dispose of your waste outside your own four walls.
Post the picture as a comment under the challenge and you're done.
With a bit of luck, others will see it and do the right thing.
Every waste that is disposed of correctly and does not end up in nature is a benefit for all of us.
