“Living & learning” with Plastic Free Restaurants
Manage episode 384128545 series 2712696
Did you know? Just $28 worth of stainless steel forks can wipe out 5040 of their single-use counterparts in a school cafeteria. That’s how, one dollar at a time over the last 3 years, Plastic Free Restaurants has eliminated 9 million pieces of plastic from dining institutions around the country. Executive Director John Charles Meyer inspires us with this progress while being candid about the challenges of running a non-profit that subsidizes schools and restaurants to switch to reuse.
When we first chatted with John Charles, things were just getting going again after Covid lockdowns, and momentum around reuse and reuse policy has really taken off since then. Guest host, Upstream’s Macy Zander, welcomes him back to see what lessons he’s learned, what trends he’s seeing, and how we can all work together to move reuse forward.
