Episode The Plastic Pollution Patrol [ENCORE]

0:00 21:28

This is a rebroadcast of one of our favorite episodes from last season, and one that is particularly timely for the summer!

What if you found out that there was a tiny, nearly invisible type of plastic pollution that’s found nearly everywhere… but you’d never heard of it! That’s what happened to environmental scientist Jace Tunnell several years ago, and he’s been on a great nurdle hunt ever since! This episode on fighting plastic waste comes with a special bonus: the opportunity to enroll in a “Nurdle Patrol” and lead the Nurdle search in your community!
