Nuggets:
- Currently there is more aluminum stored in landfills than in the mineral where aluminum is sourced in nature.
- Not all landfills are created equal. Landfills near industrial areas contain more metals like steel, aluminum, and iron.
- Jevons Paradox could be leveraged: The paradox occurs when technological progress or government policy increases the efficiency with which a resource is used, but the rate of consumption of that resource rises due to increasing demand.
Action Steps:
- Find ways to intercept potentially valuable materials before they end up in the landfill.
- "Bank" salvaged material for future use
- Reach out to explore partnerships with existing companies like Terracycle

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
