[the microdOcean] Plastic Free Week 2: Quick fixes and greenwashing with Krystina Jarvis

Welcome back to the second week of Plastic Free July and our new episode series!

We hope you're joining us to keep going on your Plastic Free July Journey. In this episode we reflect on last week's tasks, and how it feels to start becoming aware of how much plastic is in our lives. Our topic for this week is about greenwashing, how to break up with Amazon, and how to better critically think about our products with our friend and sustainability homegirl Krystina Jarvis from A Drop in the Ocean Shop.

• [2:38] Challenge: week 2
