Why it will take more than basic recycling to cut plastic
In the 70 years that plastic has been around, humans have created 9 billion tons of it -- most of which still exists.

Amna Nawaz and producer Lorna Baldwin make stops in three states to take a look at some innovative ideas aimed at reducing plastic waste.
