Ever wonder where all the garbage we create goes? This week, we explore how landfills amass over one hundred million pounds of waste each year and how harmful that can be for our planet. 

We talk to Ryan Hickman, who started his own company, Ryan’s Recycling Company, where he works with people in his hometown of Orange County, California to help collect recyclables. 

Contributor Luria Freeman teaches us how living sustainably can help reduce the harmful effects of landfills and how recycling is an easy first step in protecting the environment!
