#018 - The Trash Talk

Archeologists say they can determine quite a bit about a society based on the trash they left behind. What would our trash say about us? For most of history, “trash” would have been animal bones, hides, pottery, glass, wood, but within the last 100 years, our trash has evolved significantly. Despite this change, we often take out our trash and never think of it again. Yet, the trash doesn’t just go away. In this episode, we discuss the rise of the trash problem as well as its implications for society. We talk about consumption within society, the growing landfills, and the responsibility of the consumers and corporations. We also discuss composting and how we have ways to take our waste and create something new and beneficial for the planet.
