(Aired 12/11/22) - This week's episode of Backchat kicks off with some much needed analysis of the collapse of RedCycle - the soft plastic recycling scheme you would have seen at Coles and Woolies. Backchat producer Sana Shaikh is in studio to run us through what happened and where we go from here when it comes to plastic and recycling in Australia. Next, we're chatting trees after the NSW Government reached its goal of planting one million trees across greater Sydney in 2022. Associate Professor Sebastian Pfautsch will be running us through that plan, its benefits, and what work we still need to do to. Finally, we're exploring the fderal government's planned changes to gambling advertisements with gambling researcher with CQU, Alex Russell.

This episode of Backchat was produced by Sana Shaikh, Holly Payne and Eamonn Snow.
