This short podcast talks about plastic pollution, highlighting the accumulation of plastic debris in the Pacific Ocean and the process of plastic fragmentation. Then we talk about some of the most common items collected in Canada from 2019 (Great Canadian Shoreline Cleanup) and ways to reduce plastic consumption (David Suzuki Foundation). Finally we talk about the role of bioplastics as a partial solution and how we must better reduce our consumption of plastics and recycle the materials which do get used. DON’T BE A LITTER BUG ;)
