Episode Summary: This episode is focused on a discussion about the problem of plastic recycling. It is selected from episode 13 (The Octopusâ Gardens)
Like many of us, Tonya, Kristy, and Katherine thought that cleaning plastic containers and putting them in the recycling bin would help mitigate the negative impact created by the use of plastic.
Itâs only after theyâve been working on the Almanac that they realised that they got it all wrong! While recycling plastic is an important habit, its impact is tiny compared to the magnitude of plastic pollution created at all stages of the plastic lifecycle.
This focus is selected from episode 13 (The Octopusâ Gardens) where Tonya, Kristy, and Katherine discussed the marine environment and plastic pollution and how humans are creating problems for them. They talk about projects that are trying to solve these problems and how personal responsibility is just a part of this.

'Welcome to the podcast for alpaca people!
In this episode, I explore change, consider how we approach it and the difference between things we have no control over and things we can affect.
World scale changes will affect us, maybe not today or even tomorrow, but soon. While we canât completely control much of anything, we can make an impact through what we do. This includes the climate.
As always, I encourage you to go spend some time with your alpacas and enjoy the moment.
Let me know your thoughts.'
