David Attenborough’s Blue Planet II series is credited with turning the tide of public opinion against single-use plastics when it aired in 2017, casting a damning spotlight on the amount of non-biodegradable waste clogging up our oceans. It also catapulted the veteran broadcaster into a new position as one of the leading international spokespeople on climate change and environmental issues.
