Talking Trash on NPR

Everyone who knows me will attest to the fact that I am an NPR whore. I even enjoy listening to their quarterly pledge drive. I grew up with my grandmother having NPR on all day every day. My dad does it too. I'm getting pretty close. Anyway, Fresh Air (broadcasted outside of Philadelphia) is having a program all about trash today! According to them, Americans throw out the most trash per day out of any other country. Apparently we dispose of seven pound of trash...per DAY! That is outrageous and something we should all work towards reducing. Anyway, host Terry Gross will be chatting with journalist Edward Humes about the journey that trash takes from us to the landfill. And probably what that means for our Earth & future. Definitely tune in for what's probably going to be a really interesting conversation! Usually Fresh Air is on at 1pm & 7pm local times but it varies so check your local station just in case. Happy listening!
