Why are there so many different shampoos? Does it really matter which one if all you want is clean hair? This episode begins by explaining which shampoo is best for you. https://theconversation.com/does-the-price-of-your-shampoo-affect-how-clean-your-hair-is-heres-the-science-71597 We live in a colorful world. Color matters to us. We care what color our clothes are and what color our walls are painted and what color car we drive. We also love the colors found in nature. We admire the colorful leaves in autumn and a beautiful blue sky. Why do colors matter to us? Are there other colors we just cannot see? Are the colors I see the same ones you see? Joining me to take you on a colorful journey is Adam Rogers, s senior correspondent at Wired and author of the book Full Spectrum: How the Science of Color Made Us Modern (https://amzn.to/3hlKmhH). We are all expected to recycle. After all, it is the right thing to do. However, there is a lot of confusion and misunderstanding about how recycling works and what you should and should not recycle. What about plastic forks, or plastic grocery bags or loose bottle caps? Should those be recycled? The answer is no for all three. You might also wonder just how much of what we put in our recycle bin actually gets recycled into something else. Listen and be surprised by my guest Jennie Romer. She is an attorney and leading expert on single-use plastics, and she author of the book CAN I RECYCLE THIS? A Guide to Better Recycling and How to Reduce Single-Use Plastics (https://amzn.to/32BfVeS). How great would it be to find something stored away in your attic or basement that is actually valuable? Listen as I reveal some items that could actually be in your home that you could turn into cash. Source: Brian Kathenes author of Betcha Didn't Know That!

WENDY GROUNDS:  Hello, and welcome to Manage This, the podcast by project managers for project managers.  Thank you for joining us today.  My name is Wendy Grounds, and with me in the studio is Bill Yates.  We like to bring you stories about projects.  And today we are bringing you a story about Katherine Shayne.  She worked in environmental sustainability focused on global materials management and marine plastic litter for the Jambeck Research Group and UGA New Materials Institute.  Kat has a passion for bridging science and technology with business and mitigation strategies in communities especially in terms of waste management and new materials. BILL YATES:  Wendy, have you ever been holding something in your hand, or you're about to throw it in the trash, and you're like, wait a minute, maybe I could recycle this. WENDY GROUNDS:  Yes, yes, many a time. BILL YATES:  So this is the question.  This is the problem that Kat and her team have been addressing.  At the University of Georgia Kat is the co-founder and president of Can I Recycle This.  It's a startup company which is working on a solution to help people, people like me and you, governments, and businesses figure out what products or packaging are locally recyclable and how to get them to where they need to go. WENDY GROUNDS:  Hi, Kat.  It's great to have you on the podcast.  Thank you for joining us today. KAT SHAYNE:  Thanks for having me.  I'm really excited to be here. Meet Kat WENDY GROUNDS:  I want to hear a little bit about your background before we start.  You have a master's degree in environmental engineering from the University of Georgia. BILL YATES:  Go Dawgs. WENDY GROUNDS:  Yeah. KAT SHAYNE:  Go Dawgs. WENDY GROUNDS:  What sparked your interest in environmental sustainability?  How did it all begin? KAT SHAYNE:  Actually, I did not plan on becoming an engineer at all.  I was an English major when I started at UGA.  And I was going pre-law because I'd already looked up one of the highest-passing degrees for the LSAT was English.  So I started off in English.  I was really passionate about writing.  And I had a class that was an elective science class.  It was with Dr. Knox.  He's a climatologist at UGA.  And he had me in his class, and he asked me to come in for office hours one day.  He was like, what is your major?  And I told him I wanted to do pre-law. I really had a passion for policy and law. And he says, “Well, you really have a knack for this,” because it was a climate course.  He said, you know, “Have you explored engineering, applied sciences?”  I said, “No, I didn't even know UGA had engineering.”    So I went and checked it out, and at the same time I was trying to find a little bit more purpose in my degree, you know, what kind of law did I want to go into if I was going to do that. Because my significant other at the time had been diagnosed with cancer.  And he was 20, and he had colon cancer.

Monday, December 27, 2021 - After opening all those gifts, many of us are left with a mountain of packaging. What's the most responsible way to deal with the waste. We re-air a conversation from April with recycling expert Jennie Romer, author of Can I Recycle This? A Guide to Better Recycling and How to Reduce Single-Use. ~~~ Where we are from shapes who we are. For the Pfeiffer sisters, 1950s rural North Dakota proved to be an idyllic childhood. Together they wrote about their young lives in, "While the Windmill Watched." We re-air a conversation from May of 2021.

I feel like most of us know on some level that recycling is important, right? But...how does it work? And why is it important? And are we even doing a good job at it? And how much is plastic an impediment to a brighter future?To answer those questions, I wanted to turn to Jennie Romer. She's a lawyer, a sustainability expert, and author of Can I Recycle This?, an illustrated guide to better recycling and how to reduce single-use plastics. I wanted to speak to Jennie since she has more than a decade of experience as an attorney and sustainability consultant fighting for effective legislation on waste reduction and single-use plastics. Her knowledge is routinely sought by legislators, environmental nonprofits, and businesses across the US, and her work and expertise has been featured in National Geographic, The New York Times, Vice, Politico, and other outlets. 

Jennie Romer talks about her guide Can I Recycle This? and Catherine Romer tells us about her memoir Fox & I Then, wildlife biologist Catherine Raven tells us about her bestselling memoir, Fox and I: An Uncommon Friendship. The post Jennie Romer, CAN I RECYCLE THIS? & Catherine Raven, FOX AND I appeared first on Writer's Voice.

Americans aren’t particularly good at recycling.  We have no federal policy related to it and plastics manufacturers, for instance, fight the process in Congress where the effort really needs to begin.  ‘Reduce, reuse, recycle’ was a mantra from back in the 1970’s which is still applicable today.  And as our guest reminds us if you … Continue reading EP 469 Can I Recycle This?

Recycling may seem as easy as placing items in the appropriate bin, but there are many caveats that limit what can be recycled. On this episode, Jennie Romer discussed her book, Can I Recycle This?

CAN I RECYLE THIS?: A GUIDE TO BETTER RECYCLING AND HOW TO REDUCE SINGLE-USE PLASTIC by Jennie Romer, illustrator Christie Young “If you’ve ever been perplexed by the byzantine rules of recycling, you’re not alone…you’ll want to read Can I Recycle This?... An extensive look at what you can and cannot chuck into your blue bin.” —The Washington Post The first illustrated guidebook that answers the age-old question: Can I Recycle This? Since the dawn of the recycling system, men and women the world over have stood by their bins, holding an everyday object, wondering, "can I recycle this?" This simple question reaches into our concern for the environment, the care we take to keep our homes and our communities clean, and how we interact with our local government. Recycling rules seem to differ in every municipality, with exceptions and caveats at every turn, leaving the average American scratching her head at the simple act of throwing something away. Taking readers on a quick but informative tour of how recycling actually works (setting aside the propaganda we were all taught as kids), Can I Recycle This gives straightforward answers to whether dozens of common household objects can or cannot be recycled, as well as the information you need to make that decision for anything else you encounter. Jennie Romer has been working for years to help cities and states across America better deal with the waste we produce, helping draft meaningful legislation to help communities better process their waste and produce less of it in the first place. She has distilled her years of experience into this non-judgmental, easy-to-use guide that will change the way you think about what you throw away and how you do it. Jennie Romer is a Legal Associate for the Surfrider Foundation's Plastic Pollution Initiative, and her knowledge is routinely sought by legislators, environmental nonprofits, and businesses across the U.S., and she helped author plastic bag bans in California and New York. Christie Young is an artist and illustrator currently based in Austin, Texas. She’s collaborated with clients of all shapes and sizes, ranging from Penguin Random House to Bumble to Madewell. Her work is a reflection of her interests in nature, travel, and storytelling. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0143135678?tag=randohouseinc7986-20 https://www.jennieromer.com/ http://www.bluefunkbroadcasting.com/root/twia/jromerrecycle.mp3

Jennie Romer, a U.S.-based sustainability expert and the author of "Can I Recycle This?" discusses everything from so-called "wish-cycling" to recycling "tanglers" to whether you can recycle a pizza box and much more in this special edition of the SpheraNOW podcast.

Author and environmental activist Jennie Romer helped author plastic bag bans in California and New York. Her latest book, “Can I Recycle This? A Guide To Better Recycling And How To Reduce Single-use Plastics,” explores and answers questions about the dos and don’ts of the recycling world.

Tuesday, April 27, 2021 - We speak with recycling expert Jennie Romer, author of Can I Recycle This? A Guide to Better Recycling and How to Reduce Single-Use. ~~~ We learn about Project Find Safe from project director Vanessa Rovig of the North Dakota Center For Persons with Disabilities at Minot State. The project seeks to reduce injuries and death among individuals who may be at risk if they wander. The program works in tandem with Project Lifesaver, where individuals wear a small transmitter that allows emergency responders to locate them.

If you saw someone walking down the street and they were not swinging their arms, you would think it looks a little weird. Yet, humans don’t have to swing their arms to walk - we can walk fine with it. This episode begins with an explanation as to why most of swing our arms when we walk and the benefits of doing so. https://www.wonderopolis.org/wonder/why-do-we-swing-our-arms-when-we-walk No one knows more about how influence and persuasion work than Robert Cialdini. For decades he has studied what does and doesn’t work when you are trying to get people to do what you want. In the 80s he wrote a landmark book on the topic which has just been updated called Influence: The Psychology of Persuasion (https://amzn.to/3dHyjJx). Listen as Robert discusses how little things can have a huge impact on getting people to do what you want. You probably recycle - right? But are you doing it correctly? A lot of things you may think are recyclable are not. And some things that you would assume are recyclable actually gum up the works. You might also wonder just how much of what we put in the recycle bin actually gets made into something else. Listen and be surprised as I am joined by Jennie Romer. She is an attorney and leading expert on single-use plastics, and she is author of the book CAN I RECYCLE THIS? A Guide to Better Recycling and How to Reduce Single-Use Plastics (https://amzn.to/32BfVeS). Wouldn’t it be cool to find something tucked away in your attic or basement that is actually worth money?
