This week, Plastic Podcast is handing over the microphone to Pine Forest Media's new series South Pole to talk about Plastic in Antarctica.
Join us on "South Pole," where host Clark Marchese explores the unexpected presence of plastic in Antarctica. Today's guest, Dr. Clara Manno, a marine ecologist at the British Antarctic Survey, discusses the extensive pollution reaching even the most remote ecosystems. Learn about the various forms of plastic infiltrating the Antarctic environment, their pathways, and the profound impacts on local wildlife and ecological functions. This episode highlights the urgent need for global cooperation to tackle plastic pollution and preserve Antarctica's pristine nature. Tune in to uncover how interconnected our actions are with the health of remote ecosystems and what we can do to mitigate our environmental footprint.
