Synopsis

A vital investigation into how disposability has transformed our lives and why we’ve been unable to kick our plastic habit by Wall Street Journal reporter Saabira Chaudhuri. How did plastic take over our lives? And why have we been unable to rein it in? In investigating how we got here, Consumed arms us to make better decisions about where we go next. It is only by understanding this history that we will stop accepting the same failed solutions and demand better from the brands that got us hooked on plastic in the first place.
