This mini-series is produced by TuneFM at the University of New England and is created in partnership with the Environmental Protection Authority of NSW.
In episode two we're giving you a front-row seat in the battle of plastic vs the planet, as we hear from experts from Flinders University, OceanWatch Australia and The University of New England about how Australia's unique environment is faring in the fight against plastic pollution.
In today's episode, prepare to enter The Plastic Age as we hear from UNE’s Dr Martin Gibbs, Siobhan Threlfall from Ocean Watch and UNE’s Dr Susan Wilson. We’ll be setting the scene as we learn about the history of plastic, what it actually is, why it’s such an issue and what we should be doing about it.
