However, the discovery of plastic rocks, where plastic fish netting has melted into the rocks, has many scientists questioning how extensive humanity’s effect on Earth’s geological cycles has become. Trinidade Island might be a remote island in Brazil, but it isn’t a forgotten place. This island is one of the most important [...]
