Sustainability Unplugged

Trash Talk

Lynn Kratzberg & Jessica Gordon Season 1 Episode 39

In this episode, we dive deep into our trash—literally. Inspired (we think?) by one of the many podcasts we listen to, we spent a full week tracking everything we threw away. From donut bags and mac & cheese pouches to mystery pillow pieces and fast-food wrappers, no scrap was too small to log.

We weren’t totally prepared for how personal this would get (you’re about to learn a lot about our eating habits), but the experience was eye-opening—and kind of hilarious. We talk about how Lent, Costco, and a love for snacks shaped our waste, why composting and Terracycle are MVPs, and what we learned about our sustainability habits just by paying attention.

Tune in for some real talk, laughs, and maybe a little motivation to peek in your own trash can.
