a chart showing the rising amount of plastic consumption from 1950 to 2000 and 15, with most of the rise attributable to packaging where plastic is only used for about six months. Most of it is never recycled or incinerated

This is a nice illustration of how waste powers production.

The idea of single-use, discardable plastic 'filling up landfills' was magic for producers.

This is the same principle behind fossil fuel companies producing energy, and the tech companies that waste it

Dr. Laura Lagomarsino smiling at the camera while conducting fieldwork in a tropical environment. She wears a colorful striped knit hat with red trim and a light-colored field jacket with yellow straps. Behind her is a distinctive tropical plant with large, paddle-shaped leaves arranged in a rosette pattern, characteristic of high-altitude Andean vegetation.

Meet Dr. Laura Lagomarsino, who fell in love with plants during childhood camping trips in California's redwood forests. Her passion for plant-pollinator relationships began with a magical moment watching hummingbirds visit curved flowers in Costa Rica's cloud forests.
