Listen "Plastic Planet: From Miracle to Menace (Part 1 of 3)"
Episode Synopsis
SHOW-NOTESWHY THREE EPISODES ON PLASTIC?You already know plastic is bad. You've heard about ocean garbage patches and sea turtles with straws in their noses. You've been told to recycle and use reusable bags. So why spend three full episodes on something you already understand?Because almost everything you think you know about the plastic crisis is incomplete—or deliberately misleading.These three episodes reveal what's actually happening: how we were systematically trained to accept permanent waste as normal. Where your recycling really goes (and why it probably doesn't matter). Why individual responsibility is a myth designed to protect corporate profits. And most importantly—what actually works to stop plastic pollution versus what just makes us feel better while the problem gets worse.If you think the plastic problem is about people not recycling enough, these episodes will change your mind. If you believe technology or consumer choices will solve this, prepare to be surprised. And if you're ready to move beyond guilt trips and understand the systemic forces that created this crisis—and the real solutions that might actually work—then these three episodes are for you.This isn't another guilt trip about your plastic use. This is about understanding how we got here, who's responsible, and what it will actually take to fix it.Plastic is the most visible environmental crisis we face. Unlike carbon emissions or water contamination, you can see it everywhere—littering streets, clogging waterways, accumulating in the oceans. Yet somehow we've learned to look past it. This episode reveals how we arrived at this moment, why the plastic crisis represents something much larger about our collective impact on the planet, and why understanding this history is essential for anyone demanding real change instead of comfortable lies.A Call to Act: The World's Most Comprehensive Database of Eco-Solutions.
