Greenpeace Finds Plastics in Animal Poop

Nature is so beautiful. I love hiking through the mountains of Taiwan. Ew! But it is not nice when I see garbage in nature. 在大自然中看到垃圾好噁心。 According to Greenpeace, who are a very large environmental organization, all this plastic is ending up inside animals' bodies! 綠色和平組織說，有很多塑膠到最後進了動物身體裡！ Greenpeace knows this because they are finding microplastics in animal poop! 他們在動物的便便裡面找到微塑膠！ Microplastics are very, very, very tiny pieces of plastic. When experts from Greenpeace studied some wild animals in Taiwan, they found a lot of microplastics in their poop! This means animals are eating the plastic, or they are eating other animals that ate the plastic. 微塑膠是超級超級小的塑膠。動物吃掉塑膠後，便便裡面就會有微塑膠。 This is not healthy for the animals.
