GreenTeens Earth Day Special | Collaboration with Say No To Plastic Ware
In this episode, we talk to a local organization called Say No To Plastic Ware, which works to reduce the distribution of plasticware by restaurants. Because the majority of plasticware isn't recycled, co-founder Aadit Bennur and his team aim to diminish the use of plasticware to avoid plastic waste build-up. Throughout this interview, Aadit discusses his organization's goals and how we can be more conscious about our plasticware use.
