Welcome back to "Do Beautiful Things," a podcast by Keep America Beautiful dedicated to inspiring action for a cleaner, greener, and more sustainable world.

In this episode, we are joined by Lauren Riley, Chief Sustainability Officer at United Airlines, to discuss their innovative approaches to reducing greenhouse gas emissions, the significance of sustainable aviation fuels, and how they're engaging consumers through unique and effective communication strategies—like partnering with Sesame Workshop's Oscar the Grouch. We also explore the vital role consumers play in advocating for sustainable practices and policies.

Tune in to learn how corporate leaders and everyday people are making significant strides in sustainability and how you can be a part of the movement. Plus, get the inside scoop on Keep America Beautiful's upcoming Power of Beauty celebration and how you can get involved in the Greatest American Cleanup.
