    Description

    We all know plastics are polluting our planet. And we all know we should be limiting our use of plastics. But words are just words. Sometimes you need to show people the destruction up close to spark real change. Christine Figgener, top marine conservation biologist, did just that. Her unedited YouTube video of her team pulling a straw from a sea turtle’s nose sparked the global anti-straw movement. In this episode, we chat about how to come together to rid the world of single-use plastics. || LINKS | footprintusfoundation.org/ | Full Show Notes - darinolien.com/podcasts
