This episode of Blue Earth is a Q&A between Demi Fox, the NOAA Marine Debris Program's Northeast Regional Coordinator, and an 11 th grade science class at The Grauer School in Encinitas, CA. Topics include the sources of marine debris, zero waste initiatives, recycling, the value of taking small steps and changing mindsets. Demi is a friend of Future Frogmen. Her previous conversation with Richard can be viewed here. She received her B.S. in biological science from Florida State and Master of Environmental Management degree in Coastal Environmental Management from Duke University's Nicholas School of the Environment.

Caitlin Wessel, who is with the NOAA Marine Debris Program, Genwest Systems, joins us to talk about the microplastics and pollution along the Gulf Coast.

This episode is all about a world without plastic. What would that look like? Is it even possible?     Today, plastic is seen as one of our great environmental enemies. But it actually wasn’t always that way. Bradford Harris, a historian of science and the host of a podcast called How It Began: A History of the Modern World, and Susan Freinkel, a journalist and the author of Plastic: A Toxic Love Story, walk us through how plastic started out as a solution to unsustainable practices. Then we talk to Sherry Lippiatt, California Regional Coordinator for the NOAA Marine Debris Program, about what exactly is going on with garbage in the ocean. And finally I visit Danielle Trofe at her studio in Brooklyn, where she grows sustainable materials using mushrooms.     Further reading:    Debbie Chachra on peak plastics  "On a scale beyond all previous conceptions" [electronic resource] : plastics and the preservation of modernity  Bradford Harris: Plastics and Sustainability  Our 'Toxic' Love-Hate Relationship With Plastics  99 Percent Invisible: The Post-Billiards Age  Plastic waste inputs from land into the ocean  There Is No Island of Trash in the Pacific  Global Plastic Production Rises, Recycling Lags  Different Types of Plastics and their Classification  Health risks posed by use of Di-2-ethylhexyl phthalate (DEHP) in PVC medical devices: A critical review  How Stuff Works: bioplastics  Taxation and Regulation of Plastic Shopping Bags in Botswana and South Africa   GROW: A Lamp YOU Grow from Mushroom Mycelium    Flash Forward is produced by me, Rose Eveleth.

The powerful Japanese earthquake and resulting tsunami in March, 2011, washed untold tons of marine debris into the Pacific Ocean. Carey Morishige, Pacific Islands Regional Coordinator for the NOAA Marine Debris Program, explains where this debris may be, where it's heading, what's being done about it, and what you can do to help.

Learn more about marine debris in this interview with Megan Forbes of the NOAA Marine Debris Program. The discussion covers more about marine debris including the impacts and what you can do to help.
