Legislators are hesitant to make action to regulate plastic, but the problem gets worse every day.
This week on Green Street, Patti and Doug talk about the surprising toxicity of homes of Los Angeles due to the recent fires, and the decades of delay for people in Chicago waiting to get rid of lead pipes. Then former EPA Regional Administrator and Beyond Plastics founder Judith Enck talks about the recent battle in New York State over legislation to reduce the amount of plastic in product packaging.
