Mothering Earth - 104 - Ocean Plastics

Mothering Earth Podcast

Pollution of the Earth’s waterways and oceans by discarded plastic products and by microplastics that soak up toxic chemicals is a growing problem that is harmful to ocean and river life and to humans. It is not going away soon. In fact, the manufacture of plastic products is on the increase. So what can we do? Each of us can take responsibility for our own use of plastic products, and find ways to cut down or eliminate plastics from our lives. But we also need wider worldwide solutions and Mothering Earth’s featured guest, Doug Woodring, has been working on this issue on a global basis. He has some innovative ideas and projects, that need to be more widely adopted.
