Maggie also offers tips on how to live without single use plastics.
Co-presenter Ethan Hausman answers questions about plastics recycling in our community. He explains what makes a particular plastic item recyclable, how to interpret the “resin codes” on plastics, and helps clarify your understanding of bio-plastics and compostables.
