But what’s the single-use container it came in doing to the planet? Lauren Sweeney started DeliverZero because she hated how much waste she saw herself generating every day. She tells Bradley about the system she built for reusable packaging, the social and political momentum developing in NYC to move toward sustainable reuse alternatives and why she’s “one of the most optimistic people in the world” about what we can all be doing to fight climate change.
