What Happens Next?
Trash Talk – Are We Facing a Global Waste Crisis? | 1

Academic and presenter Dr Susan Carland is talking trash in the first episode of Monash University's podcast series, “What Happens Next?”, kicking the show off with a three-part investigation into the global waste crisis.

“What Happens Next?” adopts a unique, sliding-doors approach to the topics it will unpack. Susan will discuss these issues with world-leading experts, including academics, advocates and changemakers, and ask each of them, “What will happen if we don't change? And what can we do to create a better future?”.

In this premiere episode, the focus lands squarely on waste. Susan is joined today by BehaviorWorks Australia’s Research Fellow Dr Kim Borg and Senior Research Fellow Dr Mark Boulet. These behaviour-change experts working within the Monash Sustainable Development Institute chat through the issues surrounding single-use plastics, the Great Pacific Garbage Patch, food waste and more.

Given humanity's sluggish response to critical issues, will we be able to confront this scary situation in time? Listen now to find out the facts about the global waste crisis and discover how you can help drive the change we need.

A full transcript of this episode is available on Monash Lens.
