Part 1:
We talk with Alec McGillis, reporter for ProPublica.
We discuss the Ohio school system, where tax money has been redirected to private and religious schools. These are not always providing the education that students actually need, but serve to push an agenda for the far right. The tool used is universal school vouchers. This is also true for eleven other states, and likely to increase.
Part 2:
We talk with Prof. Mark Miodownik, of the University College in London. He is a professor of Material and Society.
We discuss the use of plastics in our current environment. Plastics are extremely useful and have contributed much to human society. However, we often do not think about what happens to plastics and other products after their first use. Humans dispose of these products in unsustainable ways. "We are filling up the oceans with plastic." We can reduce waste in different ways. We discuss how this can be done.
