    Microplastics

    Plastic waste breaks down into smaller particles, called microplastics, and these particles are so ubiquitous that we even consume them. In this episode, we’ll cover how microplastics are produced, how they affect other organisms, how they get into our bodies and more, with the knowledge of Dr. Jesse Meiller, an environmental toxicologist and professor at American University.

    The Plastic Waste Problem

    After just one or a few uses, single-use plastics end up thrown in the trash, contributing to plastic waste. Plastic waste is a huge problem that we need to address: plastic pollutes many habitats and hurts the organisms living there. With the help of Adam Roberts, Bethesda Green’s Executive Director, this episode describes where plastic goes after its thrown away and how plastic waste affects the environment.

    How Are Plastics Made?

    Ever wondered what single-use plastics are and why they’re so important? Or how plastic is produced? Plastic production is a complicated process. The plastic we see today mostly comes from fossil fuel sources. But how do plastics change from oil or other fossil fuels to what we buy at the store? This episode discusses these questions and more about the environmental impact of making plastic.
