@cbsnews: Houston’s “plastic spy” is on a mission to uncover the truth about plastic recycling in her area. When the city announced an initiative with Exxon and other entities that touted the ability to recycle up to 90% of residents’ plastic waste, Brandy Deason was immediately skeptical — so she decided to track the trash herself. A CBS News and @Inside Climate News investigation discovered that out of 12 recycling bags she tracked, most ended up at a storage site that hasn’t even had approval to store such products. See the premiere of the CBS Reports documentary “Advanced Recycling – Does Big Plastic’s idea work?” tomorrow, August 25 at 9 p.m. ET on CBS News 24/7. #recycling #plastic #plasticwaste #waste #houston #texas #environment #documentary #investigation
