Cleaning up Philly's Trashy Reputation: Talking Zero Waste & Litter with Nic Esposito

In this episode, I interview Nic Esposito,the Zero Waste and Litter Director for the City of Philadelphia. Nic lets us in on the city’s strategy for taking Philadelphia from being known as one of the dirtiest cities in the country to zero waste and litter by 2035. Learn about Philly Zero Waste Events like the Philly Marathon that has achieved zero waste for the past 7 years through partnership with a number of organizations that recycle and redistribute everything from surplus food to clothing, shoes, metal, plastics and more. Nic shares a wealth of resources for recycling, sustainable living and urban farming with specific tips and action steps to reducing waste and cleaning up our neighborhoods. Take a listen; you’ll be surprised by what you learn!
