Upcycling with Sunlight
The recycling rate of commonly used plastics is less than one percent, but that accounts for nearly a third of all the waste, in all the landfills, worldwide. Researchers are looking to harness the power of the sun, in a climate-friendly process, to upcycle plastic waste, in hopes of increasing the rate of plastics recycling.

Episode 107: A Root Less Travelled and Baby United
We're back in the garden! The elements were on our side and we did our first face to face show for about 6 months. We discuss a new (one might say Super) league, learn about dodging polystyrene and decide whether football or tennis makes you more sore. Then we tempt Emma with some cheese, find out who's the king and discuss how juvenile Man Utd fans are. And we round out with trained musicians, a national treasure and a threatening scotsman. It's good to be back.
Support the showUrban School Food Alliance to Eliminate Polystyrene Trays from School Cafeterias
The Urban School Food Alliance (Alliance), a coalition of the largest school districts in the United States that includes New York City, Los Angeles, Chicago, Miami-Dade, Dallas and Orlando, announced that it will start rolling out the use of compostable round plates at cafeterias this month, saying good-bye to polystyrene trays. The districts in the Alliance serve 2.5 million meals a day, and the six districts project to remove 225 million polystyrene trays from landfills every year. Tune in as we speak with the Chairman of the Alliance, Eric Goldstein, and the director of Natural Resource Defense Council's New York urban program and senior attorney, Mark Izeman.
