From bio-bags that survive landfills for years to bio-plastics that are actually just polyester, we are awash in confusing disposal messaging. The world is rejecting plastics, but in the quest for an alternative are we actually making things worse? Join Nature N8 and Emily as they sift through “biodegradable” plastics.

This is a podcast about how NOT to save the environment. Hosted by Nature N8 (Nate Maynard), an environmental researcher working on energy, ocean, and waste issues.

Waste Not Why Not

09. Does bio-plastic really biodegrade?

This week N8 goes on “Taiwan Insider” to explain how Taiwan turned a 70% waste collection rate into a 60% recycling rate in less than a generation. Starting with an explanation in 60 seconds of how Taiwan fixed its trash problem, N8 and “Taiwan Insider” host Andrew Ryan then go on to talk about garbage trucks, podcasts, and WNWN itself.

10. Garbage Gab 1 - How Taiwan solved waste

Ever wonder why recycling was better when you were a kid in America? Well, it was. This episode, a trash wizard named Alex Danovitch joins N8 to talk trash in the US. The steady corporate growth of trash has tracked Alex’s career closely as he co-founded one of only four non-profit waste management facilities in the US. Meanwhile, waste haulers went public, and the US’s actual recycling rate went down, and overseas. 

Alex and N8 talk about sustainable waste management, challenges with incineration, and how the US can adapt to a new world of recycling. This is part 2 of our series on waste.

11. Garbage Gab 2: How America failed at waste

Nature Nate is currently in New York City for Climate Week.

Climate Week is a week-long summit that takes place alongside the UN General Assembly each year. It's organized by the international non-profit - Climate Group - the people behind the RE100 initiative which we interviewed back in July. If you haven't listed to that episode already, we urge you to have a listen and get a sense on how some of the world's biggest corporations are committed to helping to solve the climate crisis. 

Episode “08 - Committing to 100% renewable electricity - interview with Sam Kimmins, head of RE100”: http://RE100.wastenotwhynot.com

At Ghost Island Media, we've been preparing for something very exciting. We will be releasing our first Mandarin show very soon. The new series will be about marijuana law in Taiwan (yes, more green!). Like Waste Not Why Not, the new show will still about green stuff - just a different kind of green.

Look out for announcement on the release on Ghost Island Media social pages:

Instagram: www.instagram.com/ghostislandme 

Have a great week!

We’ll be back next week.

Climate Week, some call it the most important week of the year, and best of all, Nature N8 was there this time. Each year NGOs, lobbyists, government officials, spies, flock to NYC to call for greater climate action. In this special bonus episode, hear from N8 on what really went down.

12. (Bonus) N8’s takes from Climate Week 2019

「大麻煩不煩」是一個 - 超 - 級 - 刺 - 激 - 的法律節目，也就是關於「大麻」的法律。大麻已是全球議題，近幾年，不少國家都已經陸續宣布大麻合法化或除罪化，而在台灣，大麻仍然屬於二級毒品，跟安非他命同個等級，也就是說，大麻真的超級違法！

大家也都頻繁的聽說或看到，有人因持有或吸食大麻被捕而上新聞，先不說台灣人好了，一些國外回來的，在不知道台灣仍舊超級違法的情況下觸法，就不小心惹上了大麻煩！

在這季的節目裡，我們的主持人 - 驚奇（菁琪）律師將帶著聽眾們快速了解跟「大麻」有關的法條，並且從自己接觸過的案例、與個人經驗出發，教大家在各種狀況下如何保障自己的權益。當然，最重要的是，一起來了解這個神秘～～的植物～～

節目聲明：大麻雖有神奇療效，過度使用還是會讓你腦袋壞掉。

歡迎來到「大麻煩不煩」

說到在台灣買大麻，你有什麼想像？？是在暗巷裡面心跳飛快的跟蒙面人說出通關密語後，到指定地點挖出寶藏？？還是在夜店裡面，一邊動茲動茲，趁著大家醉茫茫、煙霧瀰漫時，迅速地一手交錢一手交貨？？還是在沙發上癱軟，一邊滑手機一邊網購呢？

「大麻煩 不煩」第一集重點，兩件事：首先，「大麻在台灣，還是超級違法！超級違法！超級違法！」大家知道講三遍什麼意思了吼！第二，我們要告訴你，大麻這樣買，直接七年以上。

段落摘要：
00:25 為什麼要聊「大麻」(或綠金)？
01:00 網購（荷蘭v.s宜蘭，差很大）
01:55 團購力量大
02:23 代購、免費送、轉讓
03:15 推給別人（咳！)
04:00 監獄苦苦的，各種「不要」
05:20 被抓？

「欸！律師，這哪裡不一樣？不都是買東西嗎？」小心啦！發貨地點是荷蘭還是宜蘭，其實是你到底能否「安全下莊」的關鍵喔！

如果發貨地點在國外，你可能會涉及到毒品危害防制條例第7條的運輸二級毒品罪嫌，而面臨無期徒刑或七年以上有期徒刑，得併科新臺幣一千萬元以下罰金的風險（跟製造還有販賣一樣種阿！但是如果發貨地點在宜蘭，那就只是單純的持有，通常可以用易科罰金解決，如果同時驗尿被驗出來有施用的話，甚至只要聲請緩起訴附命戒癮治療就可以了喔。

如果你上網買的是種子，且發貨地點在國外，也會涉及到懲治走私條例裡面的私運管制物品罪，面臨七年以下有期徒刑喔！有沒有豪～可～怕～啊～～

還有哪些「千萬不要」呢？來聽聽菁琪律師怎麼說。

由鬼島自製的「大麻煩不煩」是一個關於「大麻」的法律節目。大麻已是全球議題，近年來，不少國家都已陸續宣布大麻合法化或除罪化，而在台灣，大麻仍然屬於二級毒品，跟安非他命同個等級，也就是說，大麻真的「超級違法！」但這不代表我們應該要避談大麻，我們反而應該正向的去談論並了解這個神奇的植物，刑罰不是解決社會問題的萬靈丹，面對問題才是。

驚奇（菁琪）律師，專門搞定別人搞不定的大麻煩。李菁琪律師處理過許多藥物相關案件，除了法律的專業之外，對於警察的辦案與偵查流程也非常熟悉，是台灣少數專治大麻相關法律議題的律師。

節目聲明：大麻雖有神奇療效，過度使用還是會讓你腦袋壞掉。

本集節目提到：毒品危害防制條例、懲治走私條例

EP1 聊聊「買」大麻這件事

那個戴瓜皮安全帽、騎車腳超開，或穿得像嘻哈男孩Bboy那種的啊，那一定都要攔，那個身上都有東西」... 嗎？這集我們就來聊聊超級刺激、0-100歲都得聽、只要活著都有可能（最好不要）會遇碰上的「臨檢」！

「大麻煩不煩」EP2 重點，三件事：
1) 「大麻在台灣，還是超級違法！超級違法！超級違法！」講三遍知道什麼意思了吼！
2) 警察在路邊臨檢盤查的時候叫你「東西拿出來給他看一下」、「包包打開」、「口袋掏出來」、「下車給他看一下」之類的，你是有權利可以拒絕的歐。
3) 我們要募集各位的臨檢鬼故事（你可以錄音或寫信寄到web@ghostisland.media）

段落摘要：
00:48 麻煩都出現在「臨檢」時，聊聊臨檢
01:15 臨檢時到底可以「搜」什麼？（畫重點！）
01:50 警察的話術
02:40 跟警察硬碰硬沒好處
03:38 0-100歲都要知道的：臨檢異議單（畫重點！）
04:06 被帶回警局後的各種千萬注意
04:53 自願搜索同意書簽下去就GG
06:00 一開始這樣做就不用到地檢署一日遊啦
06:48 各種「不能」、「不要」
07:48 還有！鬼故事大募集

臨檢時，真的需要都拿出來給警察看嗎？答案是不用。依照警察職權行使法規定，警察在路檢盤查的時候只能查驗身份，而沒有搜索你的權力。

然而警察在什麼樣的情況下才可以搜索你呢？刑事訴訟法128條規定，搜索，應用搜索票。也就是說，如果警察想要看你的包包、車子、口袋等地方，「原則上」需要由檢察官向法院聲請搜索票才行。然而，剛剛才知道你名字的警察，是不可能「事先」就聲請好搜索票的，這時警察就會努力的讓現場變成例外不用搜索票的情況，一個是讓你「自己同意被搜索」，一個是「逮補你後附帶搜索」。

所以警察很喜歡用話術要你「自己同意拿出來給他看」這樣就是「同意搜索」了，雖然你根本不知道可以拒絕。

EP2 來，包包打開我看一下！聊聊「臨檢」

在國外開心過後，回台灣千萬要注意幾點，不然保證你一定爆掉。「歹路毋通行，手賤沒藥醫」，要切記！

前黑澀會妹妹、充滿智慧的女子「搶薔」說，身為台灣本土反毒大使，絕對不在台灣使用毒品，要用就到國外用，搶薔是對的！但，別急著把打火機拿出來燒香拜拜，即便在國外飛上天了，降落台灣後，還是有幾件事情要特別注意！不然絕對爆掉！燒100柱香老天都救不了你。

「大麻煩不煩」EP3 重點，三件事：
1) 「大麻在台灣，還是超級違法！超級違法！超級違法！」講三遍知道什麼意思了吼！
2) 前黑澀會妹妹、智慧女子「搶薔」的話要聽：決不在台灣使用毒品，要用就到國外用
3) 我們要募集各位的臨檢鬼故事（你可以錄音或寫信寄到web@ghostisland.media）

段落摘要：
00:47 要用就到國外用 … 嗎？
02:28 飛上天降落台灣後，千萬要注意幾件事情（筆記！）
03:43 一個慘案
04:37 斷捨離是關鍵

在國外抽大麻，回國會不會被抓走？答案是不會。因為你不能拿明朝的劍斬清朝的官，也不能拿中華民國法律處罰不在中華民國法領域外面的事。

那麼在國外開心抽大麻完後回國前要注意什麼事情呢？「不要帶任何東西回來」包含用過的bong（蹦）、pipe（派）還有grinder（研磨器），因為上面只要有殘留一點點的大麻成分，就會被認為是持有大麻甚至是運輸二級毒品。歹路毋通行，手賤沒藥醫，現在海關邊境管制都超級嚴格，機場米格魯也不是迎賓犬，所以切記切記不要心存僥倖的想要偷渡任何東西回台灣，不然監所等著你。
