This episode of Walls Plus One is getting a little down and dirty. We’re talking about trash. This is a HUGE problem and like most environmental issues, the problems we see are only a small fraction of the problem. Right before the pandemic I learned so much about plastic. Much of that knowledge is credited to some incredible journalism that revealed some very disturbing facts about recycling. The digging was done by NPR and PBS Frontline. They spent months looking at internal documents and interviewing top former officials. What they found was that the oil and gas industry sold the public on the idea that recycling would be the solution to the plastic problem, but it very much was not.
