The world is hooked on plastic bottles, but it wasn't always that way and it doesn't have to be. Cities are finally finding ways to convince citizens to drink water from the tap. We explore what has made the difference between a successful municipal tap water drinking campaign and a flop. The devil is in the details but the payoff is huge, it means saving our oceans and even our organs from plastic pollution.

Our title is nod to the concept of the 15 minute city, a complete reimagining of how people dwell in cities and also a warning that we are running out of time to reverse or slow climate change. On 15 Minutes To Go we explore how our world lost it's balance. It has been well documented that biodiversity has dramatically decreased from the turn of the last century, that global average temperatures will rise in the next decades, and that this will bring about more extreme temperature events, more global disease outbreaks and parts of the earth will become uninhabitable unless humans collectively reimagine their behavior toward our planet. We also explore glimmers of hope, what communities are doing about climate change now and what we can do as individuals to bring our planet back into balance again. This podcast is fo people of all political leanings who believe that we have a responsibility to the earth. It is a peak of a different future, one where we can make a sustainable and equitable world, where we can co-exist with humans and non-humans alike. https://www.15mintogo.com
