End Plastic Pollution

Often described as the third environmental crisis of our time, plastic pollution is a rapidly growing problem. And it's not just killing turtles. It's everywhere: in our air, our food, our water... and in our blood. 

In this episode, Bella and James meet a student who has invented a way to clean up microplastics from water - Fionn Ferreira. They dive deep into the plastic problem, Fionn's microplastic solution, and how innovators come up with world-changing ideas. As well as how we can all help fight the scourge of plastic pollution before it becomes disastrous for public health.

NOTES
Here's The Plan is presented by James Miller and Bella Lack. It is produced by Airaphon.

WHAT YOU CAN DO

1. Get your business, school or organisation to drop single-use plastics!

2. Join campaigns to get retailers to eliminate plastics (especially major supermarkets!). Greenpeace often has good campaigns on plastics - check them out.

3. Campaign for your government to introduce stronger legislation on plastics - the Global Plastic Pollution Treaty is being negotiated this November, and could be a really important influencing moment. 

4. Join a community clean-up! It's a great way to have a tangible impact and meet like-minded people.
