EPISODE 9 | Rebecca Prince-Ruiz: Treat plastic as a public health concern and an environmental issue

This week Breast Cancer UK CEO Thalie Martini welcomes fellow Aussie and charity leader Rebecca Prince-Ruiz to the B Well Club Podcast. While the river pollution and the harmful effects of plastic have become a mainstay in recent news, Rebecca and her charity Plastic Free July have been campaigning to have the issue addressed for over a decade - from both an environmental and a health standpoint.
Far from a lecture about the harmful consequences of relying on plastics, the pair discusses simple and fun ways that we can reduce our dependency on plastics and more sustainable (and often cheaper) solutions to our problems.
