Shownotes Transcript

In less than a hundred years, humans have created 8.3 billion metric tons of plastic. Less than 5% of plastic has been recycled. Plastic can be found at the top of Mt. Everest and the bottom of the Mariana Trench. It's up in the clouds and down in your veins. On this episode, Brian & Lornett discuss the history of the plastics industry, how they lie about their ability to recycle and the terrifying consequences to our health.
