What if our love affair with plastic has created a monster we can no longer control? Join us on "Talking Climate Change with Yashnagy" as we unravel the complex history of plastic, from its noble beginnings with John Wesley Hyatt's celluloid invention in 1869 to its pivotal role post-World War II and the creation of the ubiquitous PET bottle in 1973. We'll expose the environmental havoc wreaked by plastic waste, spotlighting the colossal Great Pacific Garbage Patch and the silent invasion of microplastics in our ecosystems and bodies. Discover the intricate challenges of recycling in a world grappling with China's pivotal 2018 plastic waste import ban and contemplate the grave implications of plastic's contribution to greenhouse gases.
