What it's like to go plastic-free in Alaska

Season 12 Episode 5

Jennifer Gordon sailed from Seldovia, AK to Mexico on an adventure with her family years ago and noticed how much plastic waste contaminated the ocean. Her and her family started to collect the plastic waste throughout their trip and made it a mission to live a minimal waste lifestyle. She also co-founded a local refillery store, Blue Market AK, to help consumers reuse plastics and containers.
