Best of Earth Matters 2021: All About Plastic Pollution

We look back at some of the issues and stories covered on Earth Matters in 2021 concerning the plastic pollution crisis, focussing on three stories in particular: firstly, the links between plastic pollution and corruption, secondly, how the COVID-19 pandemic exacerbated the plastic crisis, and finally, how we can reduce our use of plastic, and attempt to live a zero-waste lifestyle.
