Overview
In "The Plastic Problem: PBS NewsHour Presents", Amna Nawaz and her PBS NewsHour colleagues look at this now ubiquitous material and how it's impacting the world, why it's become so prevalent, what's being done to mitigate its use, and what potential alternatives or solutions are out there. This hour-long program travels from Boston to Seattle, Costa Rica to Easter Island to bring the global scale of the problem to light.
