Plastic straws have been back in the news, but the real story goes far beyond them.
In this episode of The Reloop Brief, Barry Snedden speaks with Jackie Núñez, founder of The Last Plastic Straw and Advocacy & Engagement Manager at the Plastic Pollution Coalition, about the recent rollback of U.S. Government policies aimed at reducing single-use plastics.
They unpack how plastic straws became a symbol of the larger fight against plastic pollution, why headlines focusing on just one item miss the bigger issue, and why systemic change is needed to turn off the tap on plastic waste.
