HEART OF THE MATTER

Photographed & Written by Raquel Natalicchio.

Many of the environmental and social issues our world faces today boils down to the relationship between humankind and the environment. We have grown out of harmony with the natural world and are witnessing the catastrophic effects. These photos were taken along the River Thames in London, which has some of the highest recorded levels of microplastics for any river in the world.

One piece of trash may not seem like the root of our environmental issues, but that one small action has added up to thousands of pounds of waste found in all our natural places.
