Upstream's Sydney Harris is joined by the US Plastics Pact's Olivia Merritt Fitzgerald and Sustainable Packaging Coalition's Olga Kachook to discuss the growing drive for reuse among consumer brands. They share the details of two recent reports that map a path for bringing reuse to the retail setting and which product lines are best poised for the switch—plus the USPP's initiative to turn these findings into action. The key to success? Standardization and pre-competitive collaboration—both of which, our guests are happy to report, are in the works.Resources: Sustainable Packaging Coalition: Framework for Scaling ReuseClosed Loop Partners & US Plastics Pact: Getting Ready for Reuse in RetailUSPP Retail Reuse Initiative one-pagerListeners interested in participating in the US Plastic Pact's retail reuse initiative should contact Olivia Merritt Fitzgerald: OMFitzGerald@usplasticspact.org Listeners interested in exploring refill models should contact Olga Kachook: olga.kachook@greenblue.org Upstream: Embracing Reuse in U.S. Packaging EPR ProgramsPR3 StandardsEpisode 88: Setting the Standard for Reuse with PR3Episode 180: The Quest for a Universal Reuse SymbolGet involved:Join the Reuse Solutions NetworkSupport Upstream to make sure these stories continue to be heard and the reuse economy continues to grow — thank you!

We've been having great fun in Programming By Stealth learning how to use Jekyll to create a website using GitHub Pages. This week Bart goes through the challenge he left us with last time — to add a nav bar to our little static website using Bootstrap 5 along with Jekyll and Liquid templates. Bart had a lot of fun with his solution so it was fun to hear him dust off the cobwebs on Bootstrap. Then we turn to learning about Jekyll's `includes` feature, which is reusable snippets similar to how TextExpander snippets let you write something and change it in only one place. The worked examples simplify the code in a way, and we learn how to use `includes` to create advanced image markup. I also enjoyed learning about Liquid comments and how you can create white space between sections of your code for ease of writing and debugging that then never show up in the resultant HTML.

Switching schools to reusable foodware reduces waste and helps teach the next generation that there's a better way than throw-away — but our team's research shows dishwasher funding as the #1 one hurdle to transitioning schools. In this episode, we learn how it can be done, with parents, principals, key partners, and in this case, a little policy-making magic, too. Join Monica Campagna of the Glendale Environmental Coalition for this wild story of how one elementary school helped over 300 schools across California get funding to transition to reuse.

Host Brooking Gatewood sits down with Matthew Luisier of r.World, a fast-growing reuse service provider, and Natasha Wayne with Reaching All Minds Academy, a charter school that has taken on the challenge of switching back to reusables as part of its STEM through sustainability educational mission. With recent data showing that reuse creates more and safer jobs than landfills and recycling — we ground this data in the stories of two people helping manage the shift to a reuse economy in very different ways.Resources: r.WorldReaching All Minds AcademyThe Role of Reuse in a Just TransitionReuse vs Single-use: EconomicsGet involved:Join the Reuse Solutions NetworkSupport Upstream to make sure these stories continue to be heard and the reuse economy continues to grow — thank you!
In this episode of Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Avik Chakraborty is joined by environmental changemaker Andy Keller, the founder and CEO of ChicoBag. Together, they explore the powerful connection between our personal well-being and the health of the planet. Andy shares the transformative story of how a trip to the landfill opened his eyes to plastic pollution and ignited a mission to reduce single-use waste. From designing the first ChicoBag to taking on the plastic industry in court, Andy reveals the grit, courage, and vision behind his movement. Discover how environmental awareness improves mental health, why nature is our best therapy, and how small actions can build lasting legacy. This is a must-listen for anyone passionate about sustainability, wellness, and making a real impact. About the Guest – Andy Keller:Andy Keller is an environmental advocate, entrepreneur, and the visionary behind ChicoBag, a company committed to eliminating single-use waste. His mission began after witnessing the impact of plastic firsthand and has since evolved into a global movement for sustainable living. Known as the “Bag Monster,” Andy has faced lawsuits, educated lawmakers, and traveled to the Pacific Garbage Patch to raise awareness. Key Takeaways: Single-use plastic doesn't disappear—it pollutes air, land, and oceans, harming both the planet and human health. Nature restores mental clarity and emotional peace; spending time outdoors is essential for wellness. Courage in advocacy matters—Andy's legal battle against the plastic industry shows that even individuals can spark systemic change. Reusable bags, sustainable choices, and conscious consumption are small actions that lead to a better legacy. The health of the environment is directly tied to our emotional and physical well-being.

They're everywhere – on your desk at work, at the gym, on a day out, doing a job in the fight against single-use plastic. But if we have multiple versions of refillable water bottles , are they just becoming fast fashion? The global, refillable water bottle industry is worth $10bn and it's growing at a rate of about 5% a year. Several brands have become household names with international offices across continents. But these types of bottles are energy-intensive. Research suggests manufacturing a single reusable bottle can produce more emissions that producing a single-use plastic version, but that it works out better for the environment once it's been used multiple times. We look at the enormous growth in refillable bottles, and how celebrities and influencers have driven sales.Presented and produced by Rick Kelsey(Image: A young woman drinks from a water bottle in Central Park, NYC.

SPACEX/BLUE ORIGIN DAILY REUSABLE TURNAROUND CAN DELIVER A SELF-SUSTAINED MARS COLONY. 4/4: For the Love of Mars: A Human History of the Red Planet by Matthew Shindell (Author) https://www.amazon.com/Love-Mars-Human-History-Planet/dp/0226821897/ref=tmm_hrd_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&qid=&sr= Mars and its secrets have fascinated and mystified humans since ancient times. Due to its vivid color and visibility, its geologic kinship with Earth, and its potential as our best hope for settlement, Mars embodies everything that inspires us about space and exploration. For the Love of Mars surveys the red planet's place in the human imagination, beginning with ancient astrologers and skywatchers and ending in our present moment of exploration and virtual engagement. National Air and Space Museum curator Matthew Shindell describes how historical figures across eras and around the world have made sense of this mysterious planet. We meet Mayan astrologer priests who incorporated Mars into seasonal calendars and religious ceremonies; Babylonian astrologers who discerned bad omens; figures of the Scientific Revolution who struggled to comprehend it as a world; Victorian astronomers who sought signs of intelligent life; and twentieth- and twenty-first-century scientists who have established a technological presence on its surface. Along the way, we encounter writers and artists from each of these periods who take readers and viewers along on imagined journeys to Mars. By focusing on the diverse human stories behind the telescopes and behind the robots we know and love, Shindell shows how Mars exploration has evolved in ways that have also expanded knowledge about other facets of the universe. Captained by an engaging and erudite expert, For the Love of Marsis a captivating voyage through time and space for anyone curious about Curiosity and the red planet. 1886 JULES VERNE "ROBUR THE CONQUEROR"
