Interview with Dr Madeleine Berg of FIDRA about how plastic 'nurdles' threaten the environment

<<CLEAN: Exterior interview with Dr Madeleine Berg, projects officer at FIDRA, speaking about the charity's 'Great Nurdle Hunt' to raise awareness of microplastics pollution, and why it is so important to prevent the plastic pellets being washed into waterways: "Once these pellets are in sea they don't go away. "All they do is slowly break down into smaller and smaller pieces which will just become more widespread in the environment. "They also act like sponges, taking up pollutants from the surface water so they can be toxic too." >> on February 04, 2017 in Dunfermline. Scotland
