Best of: Tips for a Zero-Waste Lifestyle

 

Reginald Hardwick/Illinois Newsroom

According to the Environmental Protection Agency, Americans produce almost five pounds of waste per person every day. Producing this amount of waste each day is unsustainable, but we can help reduce it on an individual level by making some changes to our routines. To speak more about how to go about that, The 21st was joined by a waste and sustainability consultant. 

This conversation originally aired April 22, 2021.
