Hello everybody and welcome back to RevLeft Radio.

On today's episode I have on Jesse Taylor to talk about waste management, waste colonialism,

what happens to your recycled materials and recycling bin when it leaves your house,

composting, the threat of microplastics, how racial and class divisions in society dictate

where trash and waste goes and where it doesn't go, and so much more.

Just a really fascinating timely issue and topic and a wonderful guest to address these issues with.

I'm so really excited to share this conversation.

The way it happened was I actually watched on YouTube an episode from Wired, where Wired

will have professionals or experts in certain fields answer questions from Twitter about their

respective field of expertise and they had a waste management expert on their meridith

talking about a lot of these issues.

If we can stick around until after the outro music and we'll try to put some of that on,

where you can just go on YouTube, search it up and look for it.

But that actually inspired me to reach out to Meridith, who pointed me in the direction

of Jesse and resulted in this conversation.

So I'm very thankful to Meridith as well.

But yeah, so this is my conversation with Jesse Taylor, surrounding waste recycling,

microplastics and everything related to those issues.

So yeah, without further ado, enjoy.

I'm just a Taylor, very broadly, I guess I'm a falsely graduate student of my work centers

on discontent studies and genocide studies.

I'm mostly focusing on how waste colonialism and waste inequity disproportionately impact
