In 2015, Dr. Figgener filmed a viral video where she pulled a straw out of a turtle’s nose. This video prompted an anti-straw movement and solidified turtles as the symbol of plastic’s impact on marine life. The conversation allows an opportunity to reflect on the video and the movement almost ten years later. The two also candidly discuss the broader implications of plastic waste on marine life, the intersection of science and activism, and the urgent need for global environmental change.&nbsp;</p><p><br></p><p><strong>Episode Guest:</strong><a href=\"https://www.seaturtlebiologist.com/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>&nbsp; </strong>Dr. Christine Figgener</a></p><p>Browse her publications on <a href=\"https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Christine-Figgener\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Research Gate</a> .</p><p>Follow Dr. Figginer on<a href=\"https://www.instagram.com/seaturtlebiologist/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\"> Instagram</a></p><p>Pre-order <a href=\"https://www.seaturtlebiologist.com/work/book\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\"><em>My Life with Sea Turtles</em></a><em> </em>by Christine Figgener</p><p>Find the viral video of the turtle and the straw on <a href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4wH878t78bw\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">YouTube</a></p><p>More information about the episode and the <a href=\"https://www.pineforestpods.com/pods/plastic-podcast\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Plastic Podcast</a></p><p>Episode <a href=\"https://www.pineforestpods.com/plastic-podcast-episodes\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Transcript </a>&nbsp;and more information on the <a href=\"http://pineforestpods.com\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Pine Forest Media </a>Website</p><p>Follow Pine Forest Media on Instagram <a href=\"https://www.instagram.com/pineforestmedia/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">@pineforestmedia</a></p><p>Hosted, produced, written, and edited by<a href=\"https://www.instagram.com/cj__marchese/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\"> Clark Marchese&nbsp;</a></p><p>Cover art and PFM logo by<a href=\"https://laurelawong.com/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\"> Laurel Wong</a>.&nbsp;</p><p>Theme music by <a href=\"https://www.fiverr.com/tadeoceballos?source=gig_page\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Tadeo Cabellos</a>&nbsp;</p><p><br></p><p><br></p>","author_name":"Pine Forest Media"}
