The biggest likely source of microplastics in California coastal waters? Our car tires
Driving is not just an air pollution and climate change problem — turns out, it just might be the largest contributor of microplastics in California coastal waters.

“No one had looked at all the water rushing off the streets during rainfall events to see whether that had plastics in it...That makes all that driving we do something to think about, not just in the Bay Area, but any setting where there are cars.”

“...It’s about individual behavior change, it’s about more corporate responsibility. Together, we can make a big change.”

"Unlicensed dams can 'severely compromise the environment
Advocates say the Moorabool River in Victoria's west is facing a deepening crisis, with a reported 218 new private dams appearing in the catchment since 2012. The government should be embarrassed it took a volunteer community group to expose such a vast problem."
