Microplastics are one of the most overlooked environmental threats of our time. In this episode of the Vegans Explore Podcast, we break down how plastic pollution turns into microplastics, why they are so dangerous to ocean life and human health, and how they silently make their way into our food and water.

We explore what cities and countries around the world are doing to address plastic pollution through bans, regulations, and waste reform. We also spotlight promising innovations, including plant-based plastic alternatives that dissolve in seawater and plastic-eating fungi that could help reduce long-term pollution.

This episode offers global context, real-world solutions, and practical steps listeners can take to reduce their plastic footprint and support a healthier planet.
