A report on the efforts to clean up the Great Pacific garbage patch, a vortex of plastic refuse in the ocean; and the devastating effects of plastic garbage on the wildlife on Midway Atoll. With only three ways of disposing of plastic available -- put it in a landfill, burn it or recycle it -- much of it ends up in rivers and streams, turning oceans into a vast garbage dump. Dutchman Boyan Slat has proposed a cleanup device that will skim and corral the ocean’s plastic for removal, but it has been met with skepticism and challenges. Meanwhile, the real life effects of the overload of plastic has proven fatal to the colony of Laysan albatross that mistakenly eat this hazardous debris. Includes interviews with: Boyan Slat, founder, Oceanic Cleanup; Denise Hardesty, research scientist for the Australian government; Susan Freinkel, science writer; Roland Geyer, environmental scientist, University of California; Amanda Boyd, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service; Kevin O’Brien, National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration; Kelly Goodale, biologist U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service.

A report on Duke Energy, America’s biggest utility company, and its approach to handling the over 100 million tons of coal ash waste it has accumulated in thirty-two ash pits, or “ponds” in North Carolina. A spill in the Dan River in February 2014 has exacerbated this problem. There are no federal regulations in place for the removal of coal ash. Duke Energy is considering these removal options: using lined landfills, which entails lining the bottom and top of the ponds but leaving the ash there; or the less costly option of cap in place, which only covers the top of the pond. Includes interviews with: Lynn Good, Duke Energy CEO; Governor Pat McCrory (R-NC); and Frank Holleman, attorney for Southern Environmental Law Center. Also includes comments by Kemp Burdette, a local (NC) environmentalist.
