Micro-plastics are pieces of plastic that are invisible to the naked human eye. We can not pick them up, therefore it is very hard to rid the oceans of them. Unfortunately, fish eat them all the time and then we kill the fish and eat them. When we eat micro-plastics, in rare circumstances it can lead to death. They can also block up your stomach. Micro-plastics can be in the air as well.
