Single-Use Planet
Plastic is vital to our modern way of life—but not all forms of it. In search of why more single-use plastic debris enters the ocean each year despite all recycling efforts, SINGLE-USE PLANET goes upstream in the U.S. to where millions of tons of raw plastic are being made with generous government support. How have other countries solved for the pollution? The quest eventually leads to France.
