What Do I Do With This?
Let’s face it—most of us have too much stuff.
But we can help! This fun Nine PBS digital series helps us better understand sustainability and how to be Earth-conscious every day. Learn about specific household items that you might commonly question whether to recycle, donate, throw away, or arrange for special disposal services. We’ll also hear about strategies for reducing consumption and creative ways to reuse what you already have.
Host and producer Brooke Butler will demystify the process and tackle electronics, furniture, chemicals, fabrics, and more. Learn more about how you can help heal the planet right here in our community on What Do I Do with This?
This digital series is supported in part by Cass Information Systems, Inc., Graybar Foundation, and the Betsy & Thomas O. Patterson Foundation.
