An Invisible Threat
At A Greener Future, we spend our days walking the shorelines of Lake Ontario, picking up the pieces of a bigger problem: plastic pollution. From water bottles and cigarette butts to microplastics (nurdles), our mission is to remove as much of this waste as possible from our environment before it breaks down even further. But what happens when it already has? What happens when plastic becomes so small that it turns into something we can’t just pick up?
PRESS RELEASE: Thousands of microplastics found polluting Lake Ontario during "nurdle hunts"
TORONTO, ON: Participating in the Great Global Nurdle Hunt, A Greener Future coordinated eight shoreline cleanups throughout the month of October to gather data on microplastic pollution in Lake Ontario. With the support of 47 local volunteers, a total of 9,789 nurdles were collected from the Lake Ontario shoreline.
