Plastics. Plastics. Plastics. 

They are everywhere. We ingest them daily in our drinks and food. 

In this conversation Anne-Marie Bonneau and I discuss the pervasive issue of plastic pollution, its impact on the environment, and the importance of consumer awareness and legislative changes. We explore the challenges of recycling, the need for sustainable packaging, and the role of education in fostering a more responsible society. 

There is necessity for both individual and corporate responsibility in addressing plastic waste and the potential for innovation in sustainable practices. We discuss the role of corporations in perpetuating plastic use and the greenwashing tactics employed to shift blame onto consumers. 

Anne-Marie shares her personal journey of reducing plastic in her life, emphasizing the benefits of whole foods and sustainable practices. The discussion also covers practical tips for minimizing plastic waste, the importance of natural alternatives, and the systemic issues surrounding plastic production. Ultimately, the conversation highlights the need for collective action and awareness in addressing environmental challenges.
