Our changing climate: Addressing the issue of plastic pollution

Over the last year, Idaho Matters has taken a deep dive into how the changing climate is affecting our health.

Plastics are everywhere, but what do the toxins in plastics do to our bodies, and how can we reduce them in the landfill?

These were all questions we wanted to explore this year, and we've gathered those conversations together in our series "How we're adapting to a changing climate."

So join us as we find answers and look at ways to make a positive change to our health and planet.

Hi, my name is Hannah and I’m the assistant producer for the Idaho Matters show here at BSPR. If you have a suggestion for an Idaho Matters segment, please email idahomatters@boisestate.edu.
As Senior Producer of our live daily talk show Idaho Matters, I’m able to indulge my love of storytelling and share all kinds of information (I was probably a Town Crier in a past life). My career has allowed me to learn something new everyday and to share that knowledge with all my friends on the radio.
