Peak & Plunge #5 – Life in Plastic, Not so Fantastic
Plastic can brush your hair, today it’s everywhere
Without cessation, we’re hurt by our creation
In our final episode of Peak & Plunge, we talk to special guest Dianna Cohen, a visual artist and co-founder/CEO of Plastic Pollution Coalition. A fierce advocate for “shutting off the tap” of plastic pollution, her personal journey actually began with an immense appreciation for plastic as a material. Though plastic started off as a wonderful thing, today Dianna explains how a modern life in plastic may just be more costly than it’s worth.
Is plastic an enemy to to rioted against with torches and pitchforks? Is there really a Texas-sized trash island floating in the Pacific? And like, what the heck is carrying around a reusable straw even gonna do, anyways? Listen now to our final episode!
