Everyone’s Trash: One Man Against 1.6 Billion Pounds with Duncan Watson is Wednesday, October 14th 6:30 pm.
Each day, every single person in the United States, all 324 million, discards about five pounds of waste. Be it a bottle that gets placed in a recycling bin or a piece of paper crumpled and tossed into the waste bin, every bit of the daily 1.6 billion pounds cast-off has a story. Retired Keene Assistant Public Works and author Duncan Watson will help us to understand our waste and what we can do about it.
