79. The Biggest Big Kid Problem of our Lifetime. Breaking down the Plastics Problem, Sustainability, and What WE can do to Help Save our Planet.

Big Kid Problems

In honor of Earth Day this week we are diving into a topic many of us would like to ignore: Environmental Instability. Problems like plastics, pollution and overpopulation can be overwhelming (and a bit of a drag, tbh) but that's why I have my real life friend and Environmental advocate, Tony Verutti, in the house this week to help break down what's going on, why we should care and what WE can do about it. Because we WILL be seeing some drastic side effects in our lifetime, and just like doing our taxes last minute, it's a Big Kid Problem that can’t be ignored.
