From the oceans into our bodies: Plastic pollution 'associated with obesity and dementia'

François Picard is pleased to welcome Merijn Tinga, Biologist, Artist, Activist, affectionately known as the Plastic Soup Surfer. He joins us, not only as a scientist or activist, but as someone who spends hours a day on the water, experiencing directly the forces we so often abstract away. From the surfboard, everything becomes clear: "You become one with the wind, with the waves… you have one focus.” And yet, back on land, "you're immersed by this throwaway culture".
