The economic injustice of plastic by Van Jones
August 29, 2015

Van Jones lays out a case against plastic pollution from the perspective of social justice. Because plastic trash, he shows us, hits poor people and poor countries "first and worst," with consequences we all share no matter where we live and what we earn. In this powerful talk, he offers a few powerful ideas to help us reclaim our throwaway planet. Filmed at TEDxGreatPacificGarbagePatch [TEDxGP2], produced by the Plastic Pollution Coalition in 2010, at the Annenburg Community Beach House in Santa Monica, California.
