In this episode, we celebrate Earth Day and this year’s official Earth Day theme – invest in our planet – by talking about how we can invest in reusable systems to help solve climate and environmental justice issues. With Upstream’s own policy analyst Marcel Howard and Rich Grousset of Re:Dish, we discuss what actions we can take and explore Upstream’s new Climate & Reuse Toolkit, which contains tools and resources to help advocates integrate reuse into climate action strategies.
