Plastic in the oceans. Plastic on the beaches, berms and ditches that line the roadways. 

A lot of that plastic has been used just once. In fact, geologists estimate that the entire earth could be covered with discarded single-use plastic such as straws, cups, plates and bags.

Today on All Sides,  the shift away from plastic and toward zero waste.
