Plastic pollution: what can we do about it?

About 2.8 million tonnes of plastic waste ends up in Canadian landfills every year, which is the equivalent of the weight of 24 CN towers! In this episode, we sit down with Jade Janzen from Lives with Less Plastic and Robert Herritt from StyroGo to chat about plastic pollution and what they're doing about it. And, as always, we'll get some tips on how we can reduce plastic consumption in our own lives!
