Who cleans up after us? Robin Nagle took this question to heart and she joined the workforce of sanitation workers in the city of New York. What she found that though this work is vital for our well being it is underappreciated. In most places around the world sanitation workers are scorned. This inspite of the fact that sanitation work is both difficult and dangerous. Robin’s talk not only brings our attention to the plight of the sanitation workers but it also draws us to the question of the waste itself. Why do we generate so much of it? How can we safely dispose it? How can we minimize it?
This is a great talk, one that will make you want to rush out and thank the sanitation workers of your town, for the job they so valiantly and effeciently do every day for us.
