Are We Getting Plastics Wrong? Dr. Chris DeArmitt on Microplastics, Environmental Science and Better Public Policy In this episode of the Amazing Cities & Towns Podcast, host Jim Hunt sits down with materials scientist Dr. Chris DeArmitt, PhD, FRSC, FIMMM, for a provocative conversation about plastics, microplastics, environmental science, and what happens when public policy gets ahead of the evidence. Much of what we hear about plastics sounds simple: plastics are bad, alternatives are better, recycling is always beneficial, and microplastics represent a growing environmental and health threat. Dr. DeArmitt argues that the actual scientific literature tells a much more complicated story. After spending thousands of unpaid hours reviewing primary scientific research, he has become an outspoken critic of environmental claims that he believes are unsupported, exaggerated, or presented without the proper context. Jim and Chris discuss why elected officials, city managers, sustainability professionals, and policymakers should be especially careful about accepting popular environmental narratives without examining the underlying evidence. In This Episode Jim and Dr. DeArmitt discuss: Why Chris began investigating claims about plastics and the environment rather than simply accepting the conventional narrative.
