- Researchers have found plastic rocks on Trindade island in the state of Espirito Santo, Brazil.
- Trindade island is an important conservation spot for one of the largest sea turtles – Green Turtles (Chelonia Mydas), classified as ‘Endangered’ on IUCN red list.
- Plastic was found in the rocks called plastiglomerates – a mixture of sedimentary granules and other debris held together by plastic.
- This intertwining of plastic with rocks is evidence of humans’ pollution reaching earth’s geological cycles.
