Episode 25: Sustainability on Campus

Learn about existing programs and new ways to help make colleges and universities become more sustainable.  Gretchen and Waneta talk with Alex Freid, founder of the Post-Landfill Action Network (PLAN),  In 2013 Alex and his fellow college students witnessed a systemic waste problem on their campus and developed the first student-led, financially self-sustaining Zero Waste move-out program of its kind. Other campuses wanted to replicate the program and from there, PLAN was born. Years later, out of PLAN, the ATLAS Zero Waste plan was created. Hear from Williams College student fellows Rika Nakato and Lauren Lynch as they discuss the ongoing ATLAS pilot.
