Episode description
Microplastics are everywhere - extending far beyond our plastic water bottles, straws and ziplocs. They’re in our clothes, our water, our bodies - and even our children’s bodies. Not good, since plastics are linked to cancer, infertility, global warming and more.
Dr. Sherri Mason, professor of chemistry and leading researcher in plastic pollution, shares her insight and strategies for effortlessly reducing our reliance on plastics, one small step at a time. I love her approach for many reasons, including the fact that she’s not an alarmist. In her words, she’s not anti-plastic, simply ‘anti-stupid-plastic’.
