RS: -- the nostril of turtles --
DC: Well, and that turtle really became a poster child in a wonderful way. You know, and there are tremendous other successes that are going on right now, like big corporations, big companies, have made a commitment and announced that they're going to stop serving plastic straws. And that includes Starbucks, IKEA, Marriott, Walt Disney World, and some cruise line ships as well, which is pretty exciting, I think. And -- well, and plastic straws are also just the tip of the iceberg. It's an entryway into understanding.
RS: And it starts the discussion. And I've been having a discussion with Dianna Cohen, who is the cofounder of the Plastic Pollution Coalition, which is doing great work in educating us. How do people learn more about this? What's your website?
DC: Well, you can go to PlasticPollutionCoalition.org, or you can follow us on Facebook; we're PlasticPollutionCoalition. On Instagram we're @PlasticPollutes; and we're also on Twitter, @PlasticPollutes.
RS: And you're a worldwide coalition, with lots --
DC: We're a global coalition, yeah. We're over 750 different organizations and businesses around the world. We're from 60 different countries. Small groups and large groups, all working to stop plastic pollution, and towards a world that is plastic-free.
RS: And that's it for this edition of Scheer Intelligence. Our producers are Joshua Scheer and Isabel Carreon. Our engineers here at KCRW are Kat Yore and Mario Diaz. And we'll see you next week with another edition of Scheer Intelligence.
