SYNOPSIS:

Eight million tons of plastics are dumped into the ocean each year. Eight of the world’s ten dirtiest rivers contributing to plastic pollution are from Asia and the source of all this waste is us and other countries of the world. Join us as our panelists set about dismantling the weighty issues behind global plastic pollution. What’s the best way to tackle it? A global ban of single-use plastic? Imposing taxation? Recycling? Redesigning? Rethinking consumption? Be a part of the conversation to resolve the toxic implications of our single-use plastic conundrum.
