064 Life Before Plastic, and what we can learn from it today.

Описание: What did everyday life look like before plastic became part of everything we touch?
In this episode of Sustainability Unplugged, we rewind the clock to explore life before plastic — from grocery shopping and food storage to household goods, clothing, and personal care. We break down how plastic was originally invented with good intentions, how it rapidly expanded after World War II, and how convenience reshaped the way we live.
We also talk about what was lost along the way, what life got right before plastic took over, and how many of those habits are making a comeback today. Plus, we share simple ways we’re already re-adopting low-waste practices — proving that living with less plastic doesn’t mean going backward.
