Eight Million

As ocean temperatures rise with global warming, tropical cyclones are hitting Asian nations like Japan and the Philippines like never before. So to end this season..we wanted to talk about climate change. We start with a story about a zero waste village created from the devastation of Super Typhoon Yolanda in the Philippines. Then we weave together experts from earlier episodes to find out: What is the link between disposable plastic waste and climate change?This new 5-episode season is based on The Asia Plastic Atlas from the Heinrich Boell Foundation with support from Break Free From Plastic Asia Pacific.Guests:Miko Alino, GAIA Asia Pacific, PhilippinesAkira Sakano, Zero Waste Japan, JapanLakshmi Narayan, KKPKP, SWaCH and Break Free From Plastic, Pune, IndiaAngus Ho, Greeners’ Action, Hong KongLili Fuhr, Heinrich Boell Foundation, BerlinMr. PremaKumara, Institute for Global Environmental Strategies, JapanAshwin Subramaniam, GA Circular, SingaporeVon Hernandez, Break Free From Plastic, Philipp
