"Once you become aware that 40% of the food grown in the U.S. is wasted and figure out where you're connected, people are genuinely interested on how to engage."

We're getting down and dirty to help clean up our city with Janet Boscarino (Clean Memphis) and Leann Edwards (Project Green Fork). We're talking about the link between environmental education and academic outcomes, how to help reduce food waste personally and commercially, why it all matters. You'll gain practical tips, helpful insights, and make the idea of a circular economy more accessible. BONUS: This episode is an extended cut from the radio version and includes our lightening round.
