Learn about individual actions you can take to mitigate climate change and make sustainability attainable for everyone, with Stephanie Miller, author of Zero Waste Living the 80/20 Way and founder of Zero Waste in DC. Stephanie left her job as a climate change specialist for the World Bank in order to simplify her own life, confront the disconnect she felt between her life and her work, and to take personal steps toward sustainability. She now empowers others in her community to examine their waste practices and connect with local resources for low-waste living. Stephanie recognizes how paralyzing it can be to think about climate change, and encourages listeners to focus on what she calls the “magic three”: focus on food, ditching plastic, and recycling right, growing more confident and conscious with each choice. The joy and connection that result from low-waste living are paradigm shifting in themselves.

The average American produces 4.9 pounds of waste daily, according to the Environmental Protection Agency. This is inspiring some to adopt a zero-waste lifestyle, which involves maximizing already-owned items to reduce individual plastic consumption and waste production. While the zero-waste lifestyle has appeared in more social media feeds and advertisements in recent years, it is far from new, with roots tracing back to many communities of color. The spike in popularity has made some activists feel the movement has obscured those roots, reflecting ongoing racism within the environmental activist community. In this student-produced segment as part of KQED's annual Youth Takeover, we'll take a critical look at the origins of zero-waste living and how it can be practiced today.

They're working together with the Boston bruins and the Massachusetts Board of Library Commissioners to gather new pajamas for kids living in foster care, low-income, and homeless situations.

Today's theme: Zero waste living >>>The Conversationalist with Bradley Layton - Author of Zero Waste In the Last Best Place - A Personal Account and How-To Guide on Landfill-Free Living - Associate Professor in the Applied Computing “All living systems, and all mechanical systems produce waste: waste material, waste gas, waste liquid, waste heat. If a person or an animal, or a machine isn't making waste, then it's not alive or functioning. The engineer must find a way to optimize the waste flow so that it goes to the best possible use: building materials, soil, fresh water, or even heat.” & Im - Director of the SimPL project - lives in Nepal and practices zero-waste living “Many things we buy are wrapped with unnecessary packages. What do you do with this package waste, and how do you reduce them?” & >>>A Few Minutes with Amos A [FAST FOOD] public relations stunt has ended in chaos and acrimony after the fast food chain promised fans of the TV show Rick and Morty a limited edition, long-out-of-production Szechuan dipping sauce and then swiftly ran out. Police were called to at least one outlet after people in queues for the sauce began getting angry and chanting “we want sauce”. >>>Next week: Fashion week
