About this episode

Plastic pollution in our oceans has reached a record high, impacting marine life and ecosystems.

Plastic pollution in our oceans has hit a record high—over 200 million tons floating around, a crisis fueled by booming single-use plastics and failing recycling systems. Marine life is suffering as animals get entangled, ingest plastic, and microplastics creep into the food chain, threatening ecosystems and human health. Major rivers are dumping most of this waste, and while cleanup efforts and new tech are emerging, global action is urgently needed to reverse the tide.
