TOP 10 PODCASTS FROM TEAM LONELY WHALE

Imagine an ocean bursting with life instead of plastic.

In 2017 former UNEP Executive Director Erik Solheim warned that people and the planet we share face an " ocean armageddon [[link removed]]" if immediate action is not taken to stem the flow of plastic into the sea. But today, we know that current commitments to curb plastic waste would only reduce annual plastic pollution by 7%.

This fall, a new report from Pew Charitable Trusts and SYSTEMIQ, Breaking the Plastic Wave [[link removed]], projected that the amount of plastic entering the ocean each year will triple by 2040 — that's less than 20 years from now.

It’s hard to picture the scale of this global crisis in numbers. To put this into context: that is enough plastic to cover every meter of coastline in the world with 110 pounds of plastic waste.

Even in the face of this immense threat, there are stories of ocean optimism [[link removed]] and tales of people pushing for systemic solutions. Season one of 52 Hertz, our new podcast, centers the people behind innovations that scale solutions to marine plastic pollution by changing the system responsible for that plastic waste.

The only way we can create a future with clean seas is if we work together to take immediate, transparent, and scalable actions. Tune in to conversations on climate optimism [[link removed]], collaboration, and how YOU can get involved. Scroll through our team's suggested top 10 listening list!
