Episode 84: Brook Hopper on Sustainable Packaging and the Outdoor Industry

On this episode: Earth Month, wishcycling, ocean pollution, and sustainable packaging. We’re talking with Brook Hopper from A New Earth Project about something any of us who have purchased outdoor gear is familiar with: packaging… and how we can do so much better.

In this Episode

• A New Earth Project – Sustainable packaging solutions. You can also follow them on Instagram @anewearthproject and check out their YouTube series.
• Wishcycling – “hoping” that item you put in the recycling bin is recyclable, and actually does get recycled. Many items marked recyclable are not curb-side recyclable.
