Let's face it - we all have too much stuff. But figuring out what to do with it all is confusing.
What Do I Do with This? helps St. Louis understand the lifecycle of everyday items and the environmental impact behind them.
In Season 2, host and producer Brooke Butler takes on home media, medications, toys, plastic bags, and food waste—connecting the dots between personal choices and the systems that influence them.
Supported in part by Bank of America, Cass Information Systems, Inc., Graybar Foundation, and the Betsy & Thomas O. Patterson Foundation.
