Episode 3: Anusha Subedi on a walkabout on the Vassar campus on a typical, busy day in the life of a student. Anusha talks with us about some of the challenges to recycling and composting from the student perspective and tells us about the results of a student survey she conducted.
Episode 4 with Alexis Earp and Greenway Environmental Services: Join Alexis as she interviews two pioneer composters in the Hudson Valley, Shabazz Jackson and Josephine Papagni. Be inspired by their journey of science and steady activism as they developed a composting process that cleans water and gives back to the soil.
Episode 5: Recap and Reflections: Join our team, Anoushka, Faye, Anusha, Alexis and myself, as we recap our series and reflect on the the key take-aways from our exploration into how an institution like Vassar College can implement programs to better manage our trash. Learn about some of the challenges and also inspiring ways your own community can better manage trash for the health of us and our environment.
