Rome Was Not Recycled in a Day

Keith Wessel

Join Keith and Mollie to learn about new ways to reduce, reuse, and recycle everything. Well, okay, maybe not everything. There might be a couple things you want to hold on to. But other than those, this podcast will help you discover new ways to eliminate waste, new environmentally friendly products, and new ideas for managing recycling without recycling your sanity in the process. And the best part: we have fun while we do it.

Episode

Sometimes the simple act of recycling has much more impact than we know. That’s exactly what we explore on this episode. Get ready to get inspired with Keith and Mollie as they’re joined by Lisa and Michelle from Community on the Rise, a Birmingham organization that not only recovers #5 plastics but also helps people to recover their lives. Their stories will make you think twice before throwing away #5 plastics that the workers at Community on the Rise turn into beautifully crafted pieces of jewelry.
