From the oceans to our bodies: plastic pollution “associated with obesity and dementia”

François Picard is happy to welcome Merijn Tinga, biologist, artist, activist, affectionately nicknamed the Plastic Soup Surfer.

From the surfboard, everything becomes clear: “You are one with the wind, with the waves… you have only one goal.” And yet, back on land, “we are immersed in this throwaway culture”.
