Plastic Fantastic? A Look at a Growing Environmental Problem

Plastic - miracle molecule or environmental scourge?

Plastics transformed transportation and electronics, revolutionized medicine, and saves lives daily. But plastics have a dark side: they leach toxic chemicals, litter our landscapes, and imperil marine life. Our growing problem with plastic pollution is causing a host of negative human health and environmental impacts.

Are there any solutions?

Join Anne Ernst, senior lecturer in the Environmental Studies and Sciences Program at Skidmore College, and former research biologist at the US Geological Survey, for a look at possible solutions to the difficulties created by the production, use, and discarding of plastics.
