We are starting a month-long plastic series to talk about things like single-use plastics and what they are, what recycling really means, and more. This is really important information to know as more and more plastic pollutes our air, our water, and our land. Being aware and advocating for change will help us make a big difference! Today we are going to be focusing on single-use plastics and what they are. Many environmental activists you see in the media and on platforms like Instagram and TikTok want to ban single plastic, but why is this such a popular issue. We will be discovering the why during this episode with our co-hosts Danielle Boyer and Vinaya Gunasekar.
