INTRODUCTION
“If I had an hour to solve a problem, I’d spend 55 minutes thinking about the problem and five minutes thinking about solutions.”
Albert Einstein.
Einstein believed the quality of any solution you generate is in direct proportion to your ability to identify the problem you hope to solve. To that point, if we hope to solve the global plastic crisis, we first need to understand what that crisis is. Throughout this module you will discover how and why the global plastic crisis has got to this point, and the impact it is having on our planet.
