This is our pilot episode for our new explainer series, The Story Behind The Story, on climate and sustainability news. We explain things in clear and simple terms that anyone can understand. We all want to do better for our planet, but it's confusing, so we give you the facts without bias. In this pilot episode we explain how bioplastics are made and specifically discuss the new plastic Bacardi and Pepsi will be using. While there are some benefits to the new plastic, in the longterm it might create more problems than is solves.

Sustainable Lawns Are Easier Than You Think

Our title is nod to the concept of the 15 minute city, a complete reimagining of how people dwell in cities and also a warning that we are running out of time to reverse or slow climate change. On 15 Minutes To Go we explore how our world lost it's balance. It has been well documented that biodiversity has dramatically decreased from the turn of the last century, that global average temperatures will rise in the next decades, and that this will bring about more extreme temperature events, more global disease outbreaks and parts of the earth will become uninhabitable unless humans collectively reimagine their behavior toward our planet. We also explore glimmers of hope, what communities are doing about climate change now and what we can do as individuals to bring our planet back into balance again. This podcast is fo people of all political leanings who believe that we have a responsibility to the earth. It is a peak of a different future, one where we can make a sustainable and equitable world, where we can co-exist with humans and non-humans alike. https://www.15mintogo.com
