In this episode we speak with Dr. Chris DeArmitt about an emotionally charged topic in modern Health and environmental discourse—microplastics, ocean waste, and the global push to eliminate plastics altogether.
What happens when fear outpaces facts?
This episode isn’t about opinions—it’s about evidence.
Dr. Chris DeArmitt (PhD, FRSC, FIMMM) is widely recognized as the
leading independent scientist and global authority on plastics,
microplastics, and the environment. A materials scientist with decades
of experience, he’s addressed top forums and global media and is the
trusted voice separating science from sensationalism. He is the author
of The Plastics Paradox and Shattering the Plastic Illusion, making the
most comprehensive, accessible case for evidence-based decisions on
plastics and sustainability.
Unlike industry lobbyists or activists, Dr. DeArmitt has invested
thousands of unpaid hours reviewing and verifying thousands of peer reviewed
studies to uncover what the science actually says—work that
professors and environmental scientists worldwide have endorsed.
He makes the science interesting and engaging by explaining it with
analogies and examples anyone can relate to, helping audiences
replace fear with facts and make smarter choices for people and the
planet.
