Episode 61: The Problem With Plastics

In today’s episode, Kate and Emma talk about plastics! We give a brief history of single-use plastics, the creation of recycling symbols, plus the lobbying and politics behind the rise of the plastic industry. We speak about how plastic impacts your health – from microplastics, to BPA-lining, ocean pollution + fish, and filtered vs. tap water. To close out the show, we give you a handbook of individual actions and systemic government policies which could address the environmental + health issues created by the plastics problem.
