E04. Little Choices and the Battles that Win the War

  • Summary

  • When it comes to addressing plastic pollution, some people say, "Every choice matters". Other people say, "Your one metal straw isn't going to save the planet."

    How should we regard our daily little choices? 

    Christian Shaw, a waterman and adventure who co-founded the organization Plastic Tides to create a global community of motivated changemakers, reflects on recycling, plant-based plastics, and his recent expedition in the Mississippi River Delta. 

    He's interviewed by Erin Fox, a rising junior at Cornell University who's majoring in communications, and who believes that education is key to addressing the climate crisis in our midst.
