S8 Episode 6: The Tiny Packaging Tweak That Could Help The Planet

In this episode: kicking America’s multi-billion-dollar food waste habit. How tons of wasted food contribute to climate change, and how one simple change – better food date labels – just might help make a dent in the problem.

This is the sixth episode in our “Climate Change Solutions” series, where we look at research-based ideas to help cool a rapidly heating planet.

Guests:

• Norbert Wilson, Director, Duke World Food Policy Center
• Roni Neff, Associate Professor, Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health
• Congresswoman Chellie Pingree (D-Maine)
