A Plastic Free World: The Dangers, The Myths and The Solutions of Toxic Plastic. Frede Magnussen

The Made to Thrive Show

It’s everywhere. Our homes, our clothes, our water, our food, our bodies, our lives - plastic! This episode is stunning, and sadly scary. At the same time, a plastic-free or at least plastic-less world is possible. Find out how you can be part of this future with this courageous plastic warrior Frede Magnussen.
Frederikke (Frede) Magnussen is the co-founder of A Plastic Planet, PlasticFree.com and the Plastic Health Council. Her mission is to ignite and inspire the world to turn off the plastic tap. However, instead of shaming ordinary people about often unavoidable plastic use, the goal of her organizations is to work with local and international governments and businesses as well as to educate and demonstrate to individuals directly that alternatives already exist.
