SAN DIEGO (KGTV) California Attorney General Rob Bonta joined us for 10Talks. We are talking about the plastics crisis here in California.

There are already 400 million tons of plastic waste generated globally every year, and only 5 to 6% is recycled. Same in California, 5% currently, 95% polluting our rivers, our oceans, bays, and our air.

"In short, my kids and our collective future, I wanted to help fight for a future where we're not drowning and being suffocated by and being strangled by plastic," Bonta said.

"The global plastic pollution crisis is everywhere from our deepest oceans to our highest peaks. It's hurting our wildlife. It's on our beaches and rivers and in our environment. It's in our bodies. It's in our drinking water. It is everywhere."

(KGTV) This week, we're taking 10Talks out into the field. Republican candidate for governor Steve Hilton met Kimberly Hunt at the border to see the Tijuana sewage crisis firsthand.

Hilton said during the conversation that, as governor, he would declare a state of emergency.

"How is this not an emergency? How is this not something that obviously requires the governor of the state where this is happening to just get on top of it and take some action?" Hilton said.

"And it starts with the declaration of the state of emergency, cause all the local leaders here have explained that that is what begins the process of solving it, um, amazing. Well, of course, I would do that as governor, of course. It's the least you can do."
