In this episode, host Jill Monson talks with Kimberly Crosta, Sustainability Advocate at Conklin Office Furniture in Holyoke. Yeah, if you didn’t know that is actually a job title. LOL! 

Join us for this fascinating conversation that explores how many tons of office furniture ends up in a landfill each year (wanna take a guess), an understanding of the concept of a linear versus circular economy, trends in office design, and more.
