On this episode of The Rick Smith Show, Rick talks with Saru Jayaraman, president of One Fair Wage, about the growing national demand for a true living wage. Jayaraman highlights new polling showing overwhelming, cross-demographic support for raising the minimum wage—with a majority of workers backing $25 an hour as the standard needed to keep up with real costs. Later, John Hocevar, Oceans Campaign Director at Greenpeace, joins Rick to discuss their new report, Merchants of Myth, revealing whether decades of plastic-recycling promises have actually made a dent—or simply misled the public.
