Synopsis:
Each person in the U.S. generates about 25 pounds of garbage a week. That might not seem like much, but it means the nation's population produces nearly two hundred million tons of residential garbage every single year. Fortunately, up to 80% of that can actually be recycled. Go behind the scenes with a Strategic Planner for the City of Seattle to see how they are tackling the problem.
