Most sewage treatment plants cannot filter microplastics, and they end up in the sewage sludge on the fields - several 100,000 tonnes worldwide.
Microplastics have been found in the Arctic and Antarctic.
Microplastics reach the most remote places on earth through the air.

**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.

Sorry.. i added to my comment : The microplastics in the water is not good.
