Rosey Williams on the circular economy, talking trash, and creative problem-solving

November 02, 2021 • Ally Celones Senturk / Alex Kaufman • Season 1 • Episode 10

With the average American home containing over 300,000 items, it's no wonder why so many of us struggle with clutter. Despite what advertisers and marketers tell us, our lives are more than what we buy or the stuff we own. This week, we chat with Rosey Williams about living mindfully, voting with our dollars, and the business case for diverting our waste streams away from landfills.
