A zero waste sustainability podcast offering global solutions and ideas originating from our East Nashville neighborhood. We discuss universal issues like circularity, recycling, reusing, composting, energy and climate justice. We'll share what our friends, neighbors and local businesses are doing and connect with innovative programs in other cities around the globe.
Nashville's Crema Coffee business model is how we wish all businesses would operate. In our interview with Rachel Lehman we find out that Crema was one of the first Zero Waste businesses in Nashville and how they keep innovating to reduce waste and make the coffee world a better place. In addition to developing compostable coffee packaging, Crema implements costly innovations like electric delivery vehicles, reusable wholesale delivery crates and pays living wages for employees and growers.

Chat With Chattanooga Zero Waste
Would you sneak a plastic bag monster costume into your State's Legislature and wear it to meet with lawmakers? This is just one of the interesting things we found out in this inspirational interview with Sadie and Zach, the organizers behind Zero Waste Chattanooga. We discuss their Zero Waste journey and how they educate their community about environmental issues. Sadie has a great take on "Remedy Messaging" as it relates to recycling. She sites studies that show people are more prone to waste when they think there is a remedy like recycling. Listen in to find out if we should think about changing how we talk about environmental issues to better influence behavioral change.
