Description

Hello! This week we're revisiting the issue of plastic pollution, something we explored for the first time in 2018. Plastic pollution affects everyone, but not equally. While progress is being made on the international stage with the recent agreement of a UN resolution to end plastic pollution, there's still a long way to go. We talk to Zaynab Sadan from WWF South Africa about how ambitious a future global treaty will be, to Jill Farrell from Zero Waste Scotland about their Deposit Return Scheme, and to Rachel Edwards from Surfers Against Sewage Port Talbot about how the issue is being tackled locally, and whether that's enough.Plus: We find out why Ed is moderately outraged after an encounter at a Sam Fender gig.WWF South AfricaLearn more about the UN's recent resolution to end plastic pollutionInformation on Scotland's Deposit Return SchemeSurfers against Sewage Hosted on Acast.
