Since the birth of the plastic industry in the 1950's, this petrochem material has touched every corner of our home Planet. It's in our bodies, rain, soil, the air, animals both wild & domesticated. But perhaps the habitats most poisoned are oceanic.

Special filters placed on boats traveling in a race through some of the most remote stretches of ocean collected between 92 and 1884 particles of microplastic in *every* cubic meter studied.

We have ushered a Plastisphere.
