      That is true but the pieces are microscopic! If we eat too much though it may cause a problem – this is why we need to reduce our plastic usage

      Yes but usually very small amounts so it doesn’t cause a massive problem!

      Yes they think that some animals like fish may be eating tiny bit of plastic and we are then eating it too. The amounts are very small, though so they aren’t really a problem but if we were to eat too many it might be an issue in the future!

      Yes, but I think it causes more problems for wild animals than it does for humans
