Swimming for the River
We all know we live in a world full of plastic. But how much plastic gets into our waterways and what happens to it once it’s there? Would you swim an entire river to find out? We talk to two scientists who put together an epic swim of the Tennessee River to do just that. We hear all about what it took to pull it off, from using a drone to feed a swimmer to dealing with river monsters, and what they learned in the process.
