Plastic...it's not so fantastic! While it has been praised as a "miracle" substance, plastic production and pollution has caused far-reaching environmental and health problems. In this episode, we're joined by Christian Shaw, Executive Director of Plastic Tides, to discuss how plastic is made, why it's harmful to the environment, and ways we can reduce our reliance on this problematic substance.
