Episode Summary: This episode is focused on a discussion about the problem of plastic recycling. It is selected from episode 13 (The Octopus’ Gardens) 

Tonya, Kristy, and Katherine wrote the script for "Why is there so much plastic in the ocean? How did it get there?" - a special feature of our kids' podcast, Generation Carbon. 

In their exploration, they uncover how human actions, often unintentional, not only pose threats to our oceans but also jeopardise marine life, including the enigmatic octopuses.
