Speaking of... Greenwashing

Listen to an audio podcast of this program.

Zero Waste. Cradle to Cradle. Certified Plastics Neutral. With so many labels to signal a product's eco credentials, how do you know which check out and which are merely marketing tools?

Join Recycling Coordinator Jane Wilch and Climate Action Coordinator Sarah Gardner for an interactive discussion of the good, the bad, and the just plain complicated ecolabels popping up on consumer products, including a little label they both think is doing hero's work to make recycling easier.

Join Recycling Coordinator Jane Wilch and Climate Action Coordinator Sarah Gardner for an interactive discussion of some cool solutions for these seasonal challenges, including why this might be the best time of year to think about a heat pump for your home.

As with previous "Speaking of" discussions, this is a casual conversation without slides or charts. It's a chance to talk through some mouthwatering questions and learn some useful information along the way.
