On our special Earth Day mini-episode, Ryan talks with Joe DeRisi, Hamden’s Solid Waste & Recycling Coordinator.
Earth Day 2024 is on April 22nd. This years theme is Planet v Plastics
EARTHDAY.ORG is unwavering in our commitment to end plastics for the sake of human and planetary health, demanding a 60% reduction in the production of ALL plastics by 2040. Our theme, Planet vs. Plastics, calls to advocate for widespread awareness on the health risk of plastics, rapidly phase out all single use plastics, urgently push for a strong UN Treaty on Plastic Pollution, and demand an end to fast fashion. Join us as we build a plastic-free planet for generations to come!
