Moms Clean Air Force is a community of over 1.5 million parents and caregivers fighting for clean air and climate action. This capsule podcast, hosted by Osasenaga Idahor, takes a deep dive into the way our plastic-filled world harms both our health and the climate. Osasenaga and many special guests introduce us to the basics of plastic production and teach us about where it comes from, how it’s made, and why it’s a problem. And we know this can be a daunting topic, so make sure to take action with us along the way and stick around for our conversation about resilience in the last episode!
