Description

Waste: it's one of the most visible, even popular, issues in sustainability. After all, everyone can reduce, reuse, and recycle, right?
Achieving "zero waste," however, is a complicated proposition. In this episode, host Bennett Artman explores what zero waste means and how we might get there with two members of the UW–Madison Office of Sustainability, Travis Blomberg and Rachel Schumacher. Tune in to learn about the university's efforts to achieve zero waste, which involves managing materials on campus along the entire chain, from procurement to reuse.
