    Episode 5 – Life In Plastic, Not So Fantastic

    Plastic can brush your hair, today it’s everywhere
    Without cessation, we’re hurt by our creation

    In our final episode of Peak & Plunge, we talk to special guest Dianna Cohen, a visual artist and co-founder/CEO of Plastic Pollution Coalition. A fierce advocate for “shutting off the tap” of plastic pollution, her personal journey actually began with an immense appreciation for plastic as a material. Though plastic started off as a wonderful thing, today Dianna explains how a modern life in plastic may just be more costly than it’s worth.

    Is plastic an enemy to to rioted against with torches and pitchforks? Is there really a Texas-sized trash island floating in the Pacific? And like, what the heck is carrying around a reusable straw even gonna do, anyways? Listen now to our final episode!

    Episode 4 – Ancient Oceans, Modern Consequences

    Every time we make our morning coffee, jump in a car, or turn on a light, we have prehistoric oceans to thank.

    In episode 4 of Peak & Plunge, we talk to special guest Joanie Kleypas, a senior scientist at the National Center for Atmospheric Research based in Boulder, Colorado. As an inlander climate AND coral scientist, she’s the perfect person to help illuminate how fossil fuels, climate change, inland choices, and ocean health are all interconnected.

    Why aren’t most fossil fuels actually dead dinosaurs? What the HECK even is coral? And what does our dependence on fossil fuels, inland or otherwise, mean for the future of the sparkling blue?
    Listen and find out!
