Environmental Impacts of Consumer Products
Description
We often don’t realize it, but the decisions we make as consumers—from what products we buy to how we end up disposing of them—often affect other people in other places. In this program we investigate how the sourcing, manufacturing, and disposal of everyday products impact the environment and, in turn, people. It also profiles VISY, an international packaging and recycling company that uses sustainable production processes.
