Co-Hosts: Jenna Jambeck and Taylor Maddalene
Guest: Chever Voltmer, Senior Policy Advisor with The Circulate Initiative
On this aquathread: what circularity means on the ground in cities and how it can help prevent plastic pollution; how community-level data collection and other efforts from the ground-up can inform the global plastics treaty; how and why Taylor transitioned from running the plastics program at the National Geographic Society to her PhD in environmental engineering; and what lengths (and heights) Husky dogs will go to join a slip and slide party.
