Description

In this podcast, you will understand all about plastic pollution. More precisely, you'll get to know in details how is plastic produced, what plastic pollution consists of and how it affects our health, our environment and other species and ecosystems. By the end of this episode, we hope that you'll be clear on the stakes of international summits about plastic pollution and the conflicting interests between negotiating parties that may prevent a legally binding treaty agreement from seeing the light of the day.
