- Civic Commons
It's the old, "when life gives you lemons..." saw. But darn'd if it ain't true that doing so makes the world a better place. Join Dan, Noelle and Luke as they look at three examples of taking stuff that isn't so desirable (sludge, old medical equipment and poop) and turning it into incredibly valuable and important stuff (a nature preserve, life-saving supplies and compressed natural gas). It's a tall glass of refreshing lemonade for thirsty listeners.
Guests: Harvey Webster, The Natural History Museum; Matt Fieldman, MedWish International; and Mel Kurtz, Quasar Energy Group.
