In the third episode of Plastic Podcast, What is a Zero Waste City?

The final step to the scientific method is the presentation of results. This is where we start. Often the scientific field can seem jargon-heavy and complex. There’s a gap that we aim to close between scientific research and public awareness. Our mission is to bring science to the internet through accessible, creative, and critical podcast journalism, making complex topics approachable for a broad audience.
