Let's all sing the holiday classic: “All I want for Christmas… Is Something Not Made of Plastic.”Easier sung than done. Plastic is now ubiquitous in toys, electronics, tools, air, water… and us. And don't forget the plastic Baby Jesus in Christmas tableaus.What is plastic, anyway? It's a toxic synthetic material mostly manufactured from petroleum by such giants as ExxonMobil, the globe's top purveyor. So much is produced by these profiteers that plastic trash is now a planetary disaster.But not to worry, for Big Oil's lobbyists assure us gabillions of plastic bags, bottles, and such are being recycled, keeping them out of our landfills, water, bodies, etc. Swell! Except… they're lying.After all, Exxon is the same for-profit contaminator that lied for years that fossil fuels were not causing climate change, even though top executives knew they were. Their ethic of deceit continues today – Big Oil knows that 94 percent of US plastics are not recycled. Indeed, they can't be.Faced with growing public alarm about the ever-growing glut of plastic pollution, the industry has doubled down on deceit by offering a snappy new PR slogan: “Advanced Recycling.” They say it's a magical process dubbed “pyrolysis.” Only… it doesn't work, it's inordinately expensive, and it increases climate change emissions. Still, Exxon exclaims its AR will soon be processing half a million tons of plastic waste! But that's not even a drop in the plastic bucket, for more than 400 million tons of plastic waste is discarded each year –and the oil industry is planning to double plastic production by 2040.The only real way to stop runaway plastic pollution of us and our planet is to use less plastic.

In this episode, I sit down with Lauren Gropper, CEO & Co-Founder of Repurpose, whose purpose-driven mission truly inspired me. From surviving a life-changing moped accident to questioning why we use forever-lasting materials for five-minute products, she shares how her passion for sustainability has turned into a movement to redesign everyday essentials from plants rather than plastic. What I loved most about this conversation is how honest she is about the realities of building sustainable products — the cost, the manufacturing challenges, the misconceptions, and the grit it takes to keep going.   Her story is a reminder that with the right design, intention, and team, we can create healthier products for our homes and the planet. Key Moments From the Episode: * A near-fatal accident that reshaped her purpose and commitment to impact.   * The flawed logic behind single-use plastics and the question that sparked a new approach.   * How everyday products can be made from sugarcane fiber, cassava, corn, and bamboo.   * The hard truth about sustainable manufacturing and why affordability is still a hurdle.   * Tracking impact: over 700 million pieces of plastic replaced.

Judith Enck, founder of Beyond Plastics, professor at Bennington College, former EPA Region 2 administrator, and author of the new book The Problem with Plastics: How We Can Save Ourselves and Our Planet Before It's Too Late (The New Press, 2025), discusses her new book which takes a look at how plastic went from being a "marvel of modern science" to a toxic industry that pollutes the environment and impacts health, plus tips on how to reduce everyday exposure to plastics.

Judith Enck, whose new book "The Problem with Plastic" confronts one of the defining environmental issues of our time. Enck brings decades of experience - from her work at the EPA to her leadership of Beyond Plastics - to this investigation into the plastics crisis: how a material once celebrated for innovation now chokes our oceans, clogs our recycling systems, pollutes our air and bodies, and wreaks havoc in communities bearing the brunt of petrochemical extraction and waste.

Plastic surgery isn't one-size-fits-all, and Dr. Lawrence Bass wants to keep it that way. As aesthetic care becomes more mainstream, there's a growing risk of "fast-food" beauty—standardized treatments that ignore individual features and cultural nuances. Dr. Bass explains how the field has evolved from cookie-cutter results to true customization, driven by better techniques and a broader understanding of what beauty looks like across different faces and body types. From rhinoplasty that celebrates ethnicity to body contouring that embraces diverse silhouettes, the focus now is on harmony, not uniformity. His advice: skip the trends, find a surgeon who shares your vision, and aim for results that feel authentically you. About Dr. Lawrence Bass Innovator. Industry veteran. In-demand Park Avenue board certified plastic surgeon, Dr. Lawrence Bass is a true master of his craft, not only in the OR but as an industry pioneer in the development and evaluation of new aesthetic technologies. With locations in both Manhattan (on Park Avenue between 62nd and 63rd Streets) and in Great Neck, Long Island, Dr. Bass has earned his reputation as the plastic surgeon for the most discerning patients in NYC and beyond.

Tonight on The Mark White Show, I'm joined by Nicky Wilson and her daughter, Girl Scout Abby Wilson. Abby recently completed a remarkable Silver Award project that brought the Madison City community together in a big way. What began as a simple request for neighbors to save their plastic lids grew into a collection of 650 pounds of recyclable material. Thanks to the generosity of local families and fire stations who served as drop off points, those lids were transformed into two buddy benches and two toddler picnic tables. Nicky and Abby will share how the project came together, why it mattered, and how other civic groups can do something similar. It's a great example of leadership, service, and the power of community support.

This week on Truth to Power, we bring you a community conversation about reducing single use disposable plastics in foodservice and the food safety codes that impact efforts to avoid disposables. This conversation was hosted by Beyond Plastics Louisville at their November 20th meeting, and it featured Alison Schleck, Environmental Health Supervisor for the Louisville Metro Public Health and Wellness Food Safety Program. Alison engaged in a rich dialogue with Beyond Plastics Louisville members about our food safety codes as they apply to reusable containers for food and drink. Learn more about Beyond Plastics Louisville at https://www.facebook.com/groups/beyondplasticslouky. Watch a recording of the evening at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0SniWcZrwwA The next meeting of Beyond Plastics Louisville will be a dinner gathering on Thursday, Jan. 15, 2026 at 6pm at Mashup Food Hall in NuLu (750 E Jefferson St.). Join fellow plastic haters at this in-person gathering for dinner, followed by a discussion of the new book, The Problem with Plastic, by Beyond Plastic's founder, Judith Enck. These are some things we learned from our conversation with Alison: • The Food Safety Program oversees 4,600 food facilities in the Louisville metro area, with 17 inspectors and 2 supervisors. Most facilities have two inspections per year. • When restaurant customers dine in, they may bring reusable containers for their leftovers, as long as the restaurant staff do not handle the containers. For other carryouts, the kitchen cannot accept a customer's container. • For coffee shops, the vendor may prepare beverages and transfer into the customer's container, as long as the transfer is contamination free, with no direct contact. Shops, such as Starbucks, may choose whether or not they will allow customers to bring their containers. • Another option (used at some college campuses and in other locales) would be for a food service to provide food in a reusable container that the customer would return to the business or a third party service to be cleaned and sanitized before being reused. • Pam asked if the food safety code addressed possible chemical or microplastic contamination from plastic packaging, containers, or utensils. Alison said the food code standards require that food contact surfaces not allow “migration of deleterious substances' into food. The current code prevents contact with some metals such as lead, copper, or galvanized metal. Regarding concerns about PFAS, Alison said the code specifies that cooking surfaces with Perfluoroalkyl non-stick coatings may not be scratched. • Pam also asked about processes where food is cooked in plastic. These are currently allowed by the code. • Beatriz asked about the process for adopting or changing the KY food code. Who decides which federal code is followed? Alison answered that the KY Dept. for Public Health adopts the code. This department is under the Cabinet for Health and Family Services. • Beatriz also asked if the Metro Food Safety Program regulates food trucks. She has noticed that most food trucks seem to use Styrofoam containers. Food trucks are regulated and inspected, but Styrofoam is allowed by the code. • Arnita asked about educational resources for a friend who teaches fifth graders. Pam recommended programs from kNOw Waste Louisville. Both Pam and Shayla recommended the film Microplastic Madness. On Truth to Power each week, we gather people from around the community to discuss the state of the world, the nation, the state, and the city! It's a community conversation like you won't hear anywhere else! Truth to Power airs every Friday at 9pm, Saturday at 11am, and Sunday at 4pm on Louisville's grassroots, community radio station, Forward Radio 106.5fm WFMP and live streams at https://forwardradio.org

Today, we get to learn from Matthew Paneitz, founder and executive director of Long Way Home. This organization built Hero School, a student-built and community-built campus in San Juan Comalapa, Guatemala.Built from recycled tires and trash, the campus took 16 years to build and serves 178 students enrolled in PreK through High School. The school campus is almost complete.Matthew is also the recipient of the 2020 Sargent Shriver Award for Distinguished Humanitarian Service for his work in Guatemala. This award, presented annually by the National Peace Corps Association, honors Peace Corps volunteers who continue to contribute to humanitarian causes.Long before this award and the existence of Hero School, Matthew had an idea.An idea that needed funding, direction, and partners.How did Matthew obtain funding when he started this project?How did he develop a strategy sustaining him and the school he built with the residents of Comalapa?What is the school's curriculum, and how does it change the conversation around poverty?Let's find out. LINKSLong Way Home  - Turn Trash Into SchoolsLong Way Home Sustainability Projects (https://www.lwhomegreen.org)Help School Fight Climate Change with Green Building (Global Giving) - Giving Tuesday is December 2, 2025Watch timelapse video of recent classroom construction (Fall 2025)2020 Sargent Shriver Award for Distinguished Humanitarian ServiceEcoHab.orgLong Way Home on YouTubeLong Way Home on FacebookLong Way Home on InstagramLong Way Home on LinkedIn _______________CREDITS:Producer: Tania MarienMusic: So Far So Close by Jahzzar is licensed under a Attribution-ShareAlike License;SOLO ACOUSTIC GUITAR by Jason Shaw is licensed under a Attribution 3.0 United States License.Subscribe to Transferable Solutions, a newsletter about reimagining environmental skillsContact Us© 2019 - 2025 Talaterra Inc ABOUT:TALATERRA combines "tala" (Icelandic for "to speak" and "to talk") with "terra" (Earth)—because speaking for our planet and telling its stories is what environmental educators do.TALATERRA: to speak Earth. * TALATERRA is an affiliate of Bookshop.org.

This week on Better Buildings for Humans, host Joe Menchefski dives into a real-world case study with David Leinbach of Kaiser Martin Group and Terry MacGillivary from Advanced Glazings. The spotlight? A high-profile U.S. government project where cutting-edge daylighting met energy efficiency demands head-on. David and Terry unpack how SoleraWall—a revolutionary glass-based translucent wall system—replaced traditional materials to solve tough design challenges, including heat loss, glare, and longevity. Together, they reveal how thoughtful engineering and collaboration turned a spec rejection into a design triumph, delivering R5 insulation performance (U-Value 0.2) and lasting visual impact. From the installation process to the "quiet wow" of natural light done right, this episode shines a light on how buildings can be both beautiful and brilliantly functional. If you care about smart daylighting, occupant comfort, and better buildings—don't miss this one.More About David K. Leinbach and Terry MacGillivaryDavid K.

Have you ever gotten to the end of, say, a jar of peanut butter and wondered if it should go in trash or recycling? If it's worth rinsing out? And where will it actually end up?Journalist Alexander Clapp had those same questions, and went to great lengths to answer them—visiting five continents to chronicle how our trash travels. Along the way, he discovered a multibillion-dollar trash trade run by shady waste brokers, and a global industry powered by slimy spoons, crinkled plastic bags, and all the other stuff we throw away. It's a putrid business that we're a part of, and many of us know little about.In a conversation from February, Host Flora Lichtman speaks with Clapp about the garbage business and his new book Waste Wars: The Wild Afterlife Of Your Trash.Guest: Alexander Clapp is a journalist and author of Waste Wars: The Wild Afterlife Of Your Trash. He's based in Athens, Greece.Transcript is available at sciencefriday.com. Subscribe to this podcast. Plus, to stay updated on all things science, sign up for Science Friday's newsletters.

SHOW-NOTESWHY THREE EPISODES ON PLASTIC?You already know plastic is bad. You've heard about ocean garbage patches and sea turtles with straws in their noses. You've been told to recycle and use reusable bags. So why spend three full episodes on something you already understand?Because almost everything you think you know about the plastic crisis is incomplete—or deliberately misleading.These three episodes reveal what's actually happening: how we were systematically trained to accept permanent waste as normal. Where your recycling really goes (and why it probably doesn't matter). Why individual responsibility is a myth designed to protect corporate profits. And most importantly—what actually works to stop plastic pollution versus what just makes us feel better while the problem gets worse.If you think the plastic problem is about people not recycling enough, these episodes will change your mind. If you believe technology or consumer choices will solve this, prepare to be surprised. And if you're ready to move beyond guilt trips and understand the systemic forces that created this crisis—and the real solutions that might actually work—then these three episodes are for you.This isn't another guilt trip about your plastic use. This is about understanding how we got here, who's responsible, and what it will actually take to fix it.Plastic is the most visible environmental crisis we face. Unlike carbon emissions or water contamination, you can see it everywhere—littering streets, clogging waterways, accumulating in the oceans. Yet somehow we've learned to look past it. This episode reveals how we arrived at this moment, why the plastic crisis represents something much larger about our collective impact on the planet, and why understanding this history is essential for anyone demanding real change instead of comfortable lies.A Call to Act: The World's Most Comprehensive Database of Eco-Solutions.                 Hundreds of Eco-Organizations, Eco-Activities, and Eco-Actions you can take today.Trumping Trump: A new survival guide for maintaining focus and sanity while avoiding outrage fatigue. TT is a database of 300+ strong organizations, many with local chapters in your area, united together to fight against the insanity spewing out of 'The Whiter House' that is going to be with us for years.Because real change happens through sustained action, not endless reaction.

What if the idea that changes your life… starts with something as ordinary as being thirsty?In 2007, Travis Rosbach walked into a sporting goods store looking for a water bottle—and stumbled onto a problem no one had solved. Plastic, BPA-lined bottles dominated the market. Metal alternatives leaked, dented, or couldn't keep drinks cold enough. Travis's solution? A double-walled, vacuum-insulated, stainless steel bottle. His expertise? Non-existent. This is the improbable story of how Hydro Flask was built—from scavenging metal parts in China, to selling bottles at outdoor markets, to getting into Whole Foods by sheer timing and luck, to a last-minute investor who walked in on the day Travis planned to shut the company down.Hydro Flask would go on to become one of the most recognizable and popular bottles in the country. This is the story behind it.What You'll LearnHow paying attention to trends can lead to new business ideasHow a novice learns the ropes by obsessively comparing existing products How the lessons from past ventures can fuel future success Why perseverance and timing can be just as important as know-howTimestamps: 05:46 - Building a fence, and a first business: “I had no clue.” 09:33 - A one-way trip to Hawaii : The surprising detour that leads Travis to his biggest invention15:13 - How Travis gets inspired—then obsessed—after trying to buy a water bottle 22:08 - Searching for a manufacturer: a here-goes-nothing trip to China31:58 - The first prototype: two colors, sharp edges35:43 - Bootstrapping Hydro Flask: moving in with mom, storing bottles in grandpa's garage 37:14 - Farmer's markets, ice tests and the first buyers52:27 - The crisis that almost kills the company56:30 - An eleventh-hour visitor: “I might want to invest”58:34 - Leaving the company he built: why Travis walked away1:06:07 - Small Business SpotlightThis episode was produced by Chris Maccini, with music by Ramtin Arablouei.Edited by Neva Grant, with research help from Claire Murashima.Follow How I Built This:Instagram → @howibuiltthisX → @HowIBuiltThisFacebook → How I Built ThisFollow Guy Raz:Instagram → @guy.razYoutube → guy_razX → @guyrazSubstack → guyraz.substack.comWebsite → guyraz.comSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

This is from June 2008, on the legendary "Riders Of The Plastic Groove Radio Show," direct from the University of California (Irvine, CA) at KUCI 88.9 FM, hosted by Dennis Simms. We sadly lost Dennis in July 2025. He was a pioneer of the early Rave Scene and kept underground music on the radio! Thanks, Mark, for the invite to the show. Thank you, Dennis, for your dedication to underground music. Bio: With over 20 years of DJing experience, Dennis Simms has held residencies at famous clubs such as Metropolis (Irvine, CA), C2K at The Venetian (Las Vegas, NV), and The Shark Club (Costa Mesa, CA). Dennis Simms has performed with world-class talent such as Junior Vasquez, Taylor, Danny Tenaglia, Frankie Bones, Sandra Collins, Crystal Method, David Alvarado, and DJ Pierre, to name a few.

Plastic is ubiquitous. It is in the Arctic, in the depths of the Mariana Trench, and in the high mountaintops of the Pyrenees. It is in the air we breathe and the water we drink. Nanoplastics penetrate our cell walls. Plastic is not just any material—it is emblematic of life in the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. In Plastic Matter (Duke UP, 2022), Heather Davis traces plastic's relations to geology, media, biology, and race to show how matter itself has come to be understood as pliable, disposable, and consumable. The invention and widespread use of plastic, Davis contends, reveals the dominance of the Western orientation to matter and its assumption that matter exists to be endlessly manipulated and controlled by humans. Plastic's materiality and pliability reinforces these expectations of what matter should be and do. Davis charts these relations to matter by mapping the queer multispecies relationships between humans and plastic-eating bacteria and analyzing photography that documents the racialized environmental violence of plastic production. In so doing, Davis provokes readers to reexamine their relationships to matter and life in light of plastic's saturation.

Is an Ozzy Osbourne/Madonna collab even possible? Turns out there's one from the archives. The CMA's were last night, and Lainey Wilson was the big winner.. And the host! Billboard is naming the top rock bands. A scary reminder to get your flu and COVID shots! College students may have just solved a 30-year old murder case. And the return of an old favorite: Dead or Alive.

Plastic is everywhere. In our homes, on our streets, in our oceans. But recent research suggests it's also inside us: in our blood, our organs, even our brain. So how concerned should we be? Today, Jonathan and Dr. Federica Amati are joined by longevity doctor and clinician Dr. Sabine Donnai to explore one critical question: what does plastic exposure mean for our long-term health?  Dr. Donnai breaks down how microplastics travel from packaging, food, and air into our bloodstream, and why their size means they may cross biological barriers once thought impenetrable, including the blood-brain barrier. The conversation also looks at the broader health implications of plastic-associated chemicals like BPA, their potential links to hormone disruption, inflammation, and cardiovascular risk, and why avoiding them may be especially important for those living in urban areas. For listeners keen to take practical steps, this episode offers simple and empowering guidance. Dr. Donnai shares specific tools that can reduce your exposure without creating unnecessary fear or overwhelm. You'll also hear how diet plays a key role in supporting your body's natural detox processes and why a colourful, fibre-rich diet may help us all manage the modern plastic burden. If plastics are entering your brain and bloodstream, what does it mean for your future health? And how much control do we really have in a world built on plastic? Unwrap the truth about your food
