Plastics in Paradise: Marine Debris in the Hawaiian Islands

When you imagine a remote beach what do you picture? This week on Wavelengths we take you to Pearl and Hermes Atoll, one of the most isolated islands in the world. We hear about the beauty of this place and how trash from thousands of miles away is destroying it. We also meet a group of high school students who are determined to keep litter off their beaches.
