This show we are featuring one of the true leaders of Zero Waste Advocacy, TED-talk veteran, Captain Charles Moore. Capt. Moore is one of the earliest enviro-warriors against ocean plastic litter. We will discuss with him the current state of the fight, changes since he began calling attention to it, promising solutions, if any, and what the future holds for him.
Our show will begin with Susan Kinsella and a curated selection of what some of recycling’s pioneers inspired them to enter the field.

The ancestors of today’s recyclers were called scavengers. In this show the committee interviews Ricky Ramos, Senior Project Manager of the Downtown Streets Team of Oakland describing a grant program where DST will assist unhoused people to recover illegally dumped material.
If there was a hall of fame for scavengers, a member must be Jay Weschler of Philadelphia who is featured by the Recycling Archives.
