Undefined Danger

We’re supposed to panic about the presence of plastic micro-particles in woodland without being told how 500 of them per square metre compares with their natural rivals.
    That’s bits of rock, plants, insect and animal bodies and bones, etc., of which there are zillions in circulation.
    The attitude seems to be: “Just stick ‘toxic’ in front of ‘plastic’. That will get the sods jumping!”
