Stop Thinking Recycling Solves the Plastic Crisis | Plastic Problem

Описание: Plastic is everywhere and it’s ending up in our bodies, our communities, and the environment. In this episode, Judith Enck, author of The Problem with Plastic: How We Can Save Ourselves and Our Planet Before It’s Too Late, explains why plastic pollution is a systemic crisis. She covers microplastics in blood and lungs, the communities most affected by petrochemical plants, and why recycling often fails while big plastic companies shift the blame onto individuals.

Judith also shares practical steps we can take every day and why real change depends on laws and collective action. If you care about plastic pollution, microplastics in humans, single-use plastics, or public health, this conversation is a wake up call you cannot ignore.
