Beth Gardiner talks to Jeevan Vasagar

Prepare to be shocked by this alarming exposé of the plastics industry and its impact on us all. Plastic is present in every part of our daily lives, despite many of us trying to cut back on the amount we use. In this hugely thought-provoking conversation, award-winning journalist Beth Gardiner reveals why the industry is planning to increase production in years to come, despite the public’s overwhelming desire for less plastic in our lives. She talks to the Observer’s climate editor Jeevan Vasagar.

Gardiner has written for the New York Times, the Guardian and the National Geographic. She is author of Choked, a close look at air pollution. Her latest work exposing the plastics industry in Plastic Inc. is similarly disturbing and likely to provoke many to demand change.
