Our deep dive into fast fashion, made us very aware of the plastics and non-biodegradable material in our clothes. So we’re shifting our focus to discover what microplastics are, how they are affecting our planet, our bodies and our future children’s bodies?! We watch Ramin Bahrani’s short film Plastic Bag (2010) and we contemplate our attachment to our things. Then, a familiar face from our past resurfaces as we discuss Lucy Seigel’s Huffington Post article asking us if our plastic addiction has gone too far. Tune in if you’re in need of an eco-anxiety circle! 

What is My So-Called Sustainable Life?
