Saying Goodbye To The Kojo Nnamdi Show
On this last episode, we look back on 23 years of joyous, difficult and always informative conversation.
Guest Host: Matthew Felling
Trash follows a winding path after you toss it down the compactor or drop on the street (gasp!). Ideally it ends up in a recycling center of landfill. Unfortunately, it often ends up in our waterways and on our highways. Kojo explores the science and politics of litter, and learns about a local “Trash Summit”.
Guests
- Tracy Bowen Executive Director of the Alice Ferguson Foundation
- Jeff Smithberger Director, Division of Solid Waste Collection and Recycling, Fairfax County, Virginia
- Steven Stein Litter Analyst, R. W. Beck
- Jack Macy Commercial Recycling Coordinator, Department of the Environment, City of San Francisco
