Emmy-nominated filmmaker Krishnan Vasudevan joins us to view his film and learn about the environmental and economic costs of recycling incorrectly. The Wrong Bin explores trash in NYC, where 36% of what is sent to landfills is recyclable. The lessons learned in New York can be applied anywhere. Come see this film about what is happening in our neighbor state, and join in a discussion about the solutions with the filmmaker. This program is cosponsored by the Wallingford Recyclers.
