Plastic: Where Does It All Ultimately End Up

from Viewpoints Radio · host Evan Rook, Ebony McMorris | AURN, Marty Peterson, Gary Price

Around 90 percent of the plastic we use is left unrecycled and dumped in a landfill. Over time, this waste seeps into our oceans, harming its ecosystems and creating islands of floating garbage. The Great Pacific Garbage Patch is now more than twice the size of Texas. How do we reduce plastic consumption and get manufacturers to adopt more eco-friendly practices? We discuss the crisis and how people can change.
