Plastic Free July ft. hot takes and lessons

What this episode covers

"PFJ is so deeply rooted in privilege and access, sustainability was rooted out of survival and low income folks have been practicing this for so much longer." Plastic Free July is attractive to sustainability-minded folks for a number of reasons, but I wanted to highlight all the lessons Iʻve learned along the way so you donʻt have to learn them the hard way - all from my backyard (sorry for wind!) This episode is full of easy information on the systemic challenges to a plastic free society, and the ways plastic pollution is connected to capitalism, climate, human health, infertility, consumerism, and more.
