あらすじ・解説
We've been talking a lot about ocean plastic pollution and microplastics on show. This is such a fundamentally important topic to understand on the path towards a zero waste future! We'll continue to investigate this topic in this episode, but from a slightly different perspective. In this episode, we're talking to Christian Shaw, co-founder and executive director of the US-based NGO, Plastic Tides. This episode is all about activism, awareness building and science, all in the shape and form of expeditions, with the goal of mapping out the prevalence of microplastics across the planet. Moreover, this episode is about pivoting, changing your ideas and plans when the situation demands it. Time to dive in!
