Meet Ángela, a shy but curious girl from Quito, Ecuador. In Ángela and the Plastic Problem, she embarks on a journey to discover what her local community and communities across her country are doing to increase sustainability by combating plastic waste. Learning about intiatives in other cities and even going on a trip to the marvelous Galápagos Islands, she is helped and inspired along the way by her best friend, Julia, and her Mamá.

This video paints a picture of what the dairy industry of today looks like to people from Chenango County, New York. This area used to be one of the major hubs of dairy production in the United States but the largest figures in the industry have sinced moved elsewhere. I wanted to better understand why dairy farms have largely moved to the west coast. What do the experts think of this shift from east to west? Is the United States dairy industry sustainable in it's current form?
