How can we transform what society thinks of as "waste" to replace non-environmentally friendly products?

In our last episode, we talked about potential solutions for solving our economy's biggest problems, from changing overproduction practices and revamping policies that currently discard usable items in the trash.

We're excited to bring on Qiting Fang, an innovative designer curious about the way people interact with the world and thinking about solutions to waste generated from everyday products. One of her recent projects was the "tea waste desiccant", a potential replacement for silica gel packets we often find in food, pharmaceutical, and other manufacturing industries.

Neighborhood accounts help keep usable furniture and other discarded items from getting landfilled.

Community fridges are also popping up to help food-insecure individuals get access to needed staple items!
