Turning Beach Trash into Art with Artist and Sustainability Educator Hannah Tizedes

Plastic pollution has created a lot of ocean pollution, and it has wreaked havoc on The Great Lakes too. Michigan-based artist of "The Trashy Collection" and sustainability educator Hannah Tizedes turns the trash she finds while doing beach cleanups into works of art. Hannah uses her art as a tool to raise awareness and educate others about the plastic waste crisis in the Midwest and beyond. In this episode, she shares sustainable living tips, easy ways to reduce waste, and how to limit microplastic pollution at home. Hannah also talks about her love of secondhand clothes and furniture, her local Buy Nothing group, and how getting involved with her local community keeps her feeling optimistic about the future.
