The children had great fun investigating what would happen when synthetic fabrics were washed and were surprised to discover that small micro-fibres got into the water! They learnt that this had a negative effect on the plants and animals that live in the ocean. Does this happen with all fabrics? Is there a way we can stop this pollution?
