A very informative discussion with Plastic Pollution Coalition founder Dianna Cohen. Three California girls talk about how walking and swimming the local beaches have inspired them to take action on a big problem. In this episode’s topic of “THE CUP” Sofia and Michelle are joined by special guest Dianna Cohen ( Plastic Pollution Coalition ) and discuss hacks and facts around our relationship with cups as well as how plastic pollution affects lower-income communities, petroleum, ethylene, fracking,  plasticize, biphenyls, phthalates, impacts on human health, compressed polystyrene, neurotoxins, brand audit data, polymer chain, how using a  non plastic reusable cup is better for health and may save you money, and what's in Dianna's bag.  Hey, Get that china or fancy set out and use it.
