Episode 25: Sustainability on Campus
Listen now
Description
Learn strategies and existing programs to help make colleges and universities become more sustainable.  Hear from Alex Freid, founder of the Post-Landfill Action Network (PLAN).  PLAN was founded in 2013, by a group of college students. These students witnessed a systemic waste problem on their campus and developed the first student-led, financially self-sustaining, zero waste move-out program of its kind. Other campuses wanted to replicate the program and from there, PLAN was born.  Hear from other students from Williams College during the second part of the podcast.
