Unbelievable
Of course the NS would have a plastic waste episode unironically sponsored by Coca Cola. I thought it must be sarcasm. But here we are. A joke, indeed. The soda industry is what popularized the idea of “recycling” so they could stop collecting and washing their glass bottles and instead put the burden on individuals to figure out what to do with the plastic trash it was cheaper for them to churn out. Note in the episode there’s not a focus on reducing the supply side - getting the UK’s insane plastic packaging off of every produce item in the supermarket - but instead what to do with it after. What a joke. I’ve always felt this pod was a bit superficial but this takes the cake.

Helen Lewis is insufferable and horribly ill-informed. Just let Stephen and Anoosh get on with it.
