Microplastics, tiny pieces of plastic debris less than five millimetres in length, are designed for commercial use or created through the breakdown of consumer products and industrial waste. They litter our oceans , they have been detected in everything from aquatic life to drinking water, and they take lifetimes or longer to decompose. In 2019, the World Health Organization called for more research on the effects of microplastics to the environment and human health.

Nairobi (or Kanairo as it’s fondly known by the residents) was up and running.
