Flash Forward is a show about possible (and not so possible) future scenarios. What would the warranty on a sex robot look like? How would diplomacy work if we couldn’t lie? Could there ever be a fecal transplant black market? (Complicated, it wouldn’t, and yes, respectively, in case you’re curious.) Hosted and produced by award winning science journalist Rose Eveleth, each episode combines audio drama and journalism to go deep on potential tomorrows, and uncovers what those futures might re ...

Some of our stories are heartbreaking, others are hilarious, but they're all true and all very personal. Welcome to The Story Collider!

And if we humans are alone in the universe, if we don't survive intelligent life dies out with us too.

This butterfly is excited to be speaking with Mimi Wu.
Mimi is an impact-driven entrepreneur with deep expertise in circularity and plastics waste management, particularly in the Global South. Her mission is to accelerate our global society towards a zero-plastic waste future by reducing plastic production and consumption, building basic waste infrastructure for all communities, and scaling innovative solutions. Mimi founded one of the world’s only post-consumer plastic bag recycling companies in a country - Myanmar - which consistently ranks in the top 20 hardest countries in the world to conduct business. Since returning to the US in 2021, she has been working with industry leaders, startups, and VCs to solve our climate and plastic pollution crises with a focus on infrastructure technology solutions.
In this episode, you will hear about the plastic pollution problem, waste management, what plastics can be recycled, “wish-cycle”, and more.
