The Venn Dialogues
Join Christine & Jacoby, weekly, as they discuss a wide-range of topics they find interesting. The pair will give their perspective on the topic of the week and then look at the research, facts and literature associated with the topic to see if it expands the conversation. These topics will create a dialogue that encourages our listeners to learn more about the world and ourselves. Listen weekly to find out how you can add to the conversation. Follow us at Venn.Dialogues on Instagram and at VennDialoguePod on X (formerly known as twitter).

Life in plastic is actually not fantastic. Today we talk about Recycling. The big, small and in-between about how we can all try more in our recycling efforts and WHY.
In the “What's Facts Got to Do With It? Segment” we explore the history of recycling in the USA and what a journey we are still on. See resources below. Let us know what you think.
Challenge:
Learn about your nearest landfill - where is it? How big is it? Are recycling efforts utilized there?
