You can’t always see it but plastic is everywhere.
So much so – that it’s now in our rain and it’s there because of humans.
It’s almost as worrisome as acid rain was in the 1970s – an issue that is no longer a major concern.
Host Kris McCusker speaks to Benji Jones, Environmental Correspondent at Vox in New York, about how pervasive plastic has become – and what you can do to mitigate your exposure. We love feedback at The Big Story, as well as suggestions for future
episodes. You can find us:
