In this first of three videos, I talk about how we ended up in the mess of plastic pollution, share some facts and figures, and explain what the actual problem with plastic is.

They say your first fifty episodes will suck. As I had to pause and restart my channel a few times, this is more than true for me. First, I didn’t know what I was doing, then I didn’t know how to deal with the YouTube channel and the podcast, and finally, my health forced me into a video hiatus with audio-only episodes for a while. I’m in the process of revisiting a lot of the earlier topics that are still in line with where I’m headed, and recreating quite a few of the audio-only episodes. This is one of the episodes that will likely never be redone, as it’s no longer in line with what I want to do. Part of me wants to delete all the early episodes, but archiving them feels like the better choice.
