Where Does It Go?

Episode 84: Litter: Where Does it Go? | A podcast about life cycles of all kinds of things, and where stuff goes |

Sarah has been spending her time digging into literal litter, and so she was inspired to come to us today to talk about where litter goes! Sarah takes a look at the Great Pacific Garbage Patch, Keep America Beautiful, and the general ways we can better connect with our environment through tidying up litter!

This subject ties in nicely with several episodes we’ve covered before, listed below.

Episode 83: Ashtrays. A recent antiquing trip uncovered not a single, solitary ashtray, and that led us to ask, where have all the ashtrays gone? Emily dug into the subject, and interviews cohost Sarah, our resident expert in where household goods tend to end up, to let us all know where ashtrays have gone. Spittoons too!
