Ep 41: Solidarity in, Garbage out.

In which I cover issues of waste and consumption relating to food, cutting down on waste, and reusing at the store. Then I talk about better governance in our places and relate that back to consumption and education. I’m trying something different with the audio, let me now if it doesn’t work for you or not.
