Wake Up Call host, MK speaks with Beth Porter, Author and Climate and Recycling Director at Green America, a Washington, D.C.-based nonprofit, who takes on every layer and question on recycling in her new book, Reduce, Reuse, Reimagine: Sorting Out the Recycling System. She provides a clear vision forward in understanding the incredible yet still fully untapped industry that stands to be created from recycling. She also provides concrete ways we can all participate in growing it together and cites confusion over inconsistent rules as one of the primary obstacles to tapping its potential. She provides answers to clear up that confusion, and shares great resources about recycling, explaining the complexity, guiding individual action, and contextualizing its history. She reveals how we arrived at this state of dysfunction, and what steps we need to employ to be an active participant in strengthening our recycling system.
