0504: Single Use Plastics and You
Manage episode 442706933 series 2309986
In this episode of *Manny Talks*, we unpack the ongoing challenges of plastic recycling, diving into recent *CNN* articles that shed light on the topic. We explore *Ella Nilsen’s* September 2024 piece on California’s lawsuit against ExxonMobil, which alleges misleading claims about plastic recyclability, as well as *Rachel Ramirez’s* May 2024 article that critically examines the promises and pitfalls of chemical recycling.
Are big corporations truly invested in solving the plastic crisis, or are we being misled? Is chemical recycling the solution we’ve been waiting for, or just another flawed approach? We also take a closer look at how our own recycling habits play into the issue and challenge listeners to reflect on the convenience of single-use plastics. Can we make the necessary changes to reduce our plastic footprint?
Join me, Manny, for a thought-provoking discussion about corporate responsibility, consumer action, and the future of plastic recycling.
