Join us for a countdown to Earth Day with season 2 of Earth Chats. We’re releasing an episode every weekday through April 22nd, the 50th Anniversary of Earth Day.
In this episode: Plastics – To be or not to recycled: that is the question. Kay McKeen and the team at SCARCE have the answers.
Other questions answered in this episode:
- What is Heather finding when she creeps her friends’ recyclables?
- What do holiday lights, dirty diapers, syringes, and red solo cups have in common? (Answer: they don’t belong in recycling bins).
- Just how well-rinsed do your recyclables need to be?
- Shop till you drop (goods that come in non-recyclable containers).
- Be ready for a quiz on the SCARCE Curbside Recycling Guide (see below).
Find more out about “wish-cycling,” tanglers, and tricks you can perform AT YOUR HOME with a spatula and a peanut butter container by listening ?
