Microplastics are now found in oceans, rivers, food, drinking water, and even inside the human body.

This magazine-style English lesson explores where these tiny plastic particles come from, how they spread, and why scientists are concerned about their possible effects on people and the environment.

Students read an original article, learn useful vocabulary, and take part in discussion, critical thinking, speaking, and writing activities about pollution, responsibility, and solutions.

They are in the oceans, the air, the food we eat, and the water we drink. Scientists have even found them inside the human body. Microplastics are tiny pieces of plastic, usually smaller than five millimeters, and they are spreading almost everywhere.
