Recycling has become a national habit, a daily ritual practiced by over 100 million people every day.

As world population and consumption continue to rise, it is clear that our one-way system of extracting virgin resources to make packaging and products that will later be buried or burned is not sustainable. Zero Waste is a new way of looking at our waste stream. Instead of seeing used materials as garbage in need of disposal, discards are seen as valuable resources. A pile of “trash” represents jobs, financial opportunity, and raw material for new products. Host Stephanie Gates gets the details from Ecocycle in Boulder.
