Category: Myth or Fact?

What do you know about plastic pollution? Test your knowledge with the Plastic Mythbusters quiz on the Coastal Pollution Toolbox. A project by Helmholtz Centre Hereon on the Coastal Pollution Toolbox, with Ahnen&Enkel, and the University of Strathclyde. Can’t finish the quiz?

I just found this beautifully designed page on facts and myths of plastic pollution by researcher Rhiannon Moore. Check it out!

Here’s a great initiative by Martin Wagner and Lesley Henderson to fact-check plastic pollution factoids: Which ones are fact, and which ones myth? Find out in the Google Doc “An inventory of factoids and myths on plastic pollution and microplastics”

Grid Arendal, a Norwegian foundation, has put together a fact-checking website called “Stop Talking Trash about Marine Litter” debunking wide-spread ocean-plastic myths. Project manager Peter Harris published a blogpost with additional background.
