Unedited and unscripted zero waste and plastic pollution news, now delivered every Friday -

YIKES. Welcome to my new weekly vlog (maybe podcast later today so you can listen to it while you multitask). I decided to do this last night so I woke up, went to the outdoor gym, came home and knocked it out. To be fair, I've been talking about doing this for over a year and my only hold up was trying to be perfect and all the editing time. Well, I put excuses aside, decided to do it in one take, no editing and HERE IT IS, unedited, raw, live, and direct. FINALLY!

This first episode covers some stuff around #aimachinelearning plastic detection and recovery, #toraphene, the new possibly promising bio-plastic, @dispatch_goods and @zunicafe in SF, David Christian of @evowareworld and Indonesia's big plastic-free by 2040 goals discussed on the new @houseonfirepodcast and last but not least, the most awesome hashtag #plasticfreepresident and the peeps calling out for it.
