Beyond Plastics coordinated a national day of action on July 23 to protest the massive amount of single-use plastic by having people take plastic back to local supermarkets. In Albany, Zero Waste and Watervliet Huddle held an event at Market 32 on Delaware Ave. We hear from six people: Rebecca Kavaler (aka Plastic Monster); Sally Lauletta of the Watervliet Huddle; Karen Kaufman; Tina Lieberman of Zero Waste; Nancy Finol; and Christine Primommo of the Clean Air Coalition.

The "WGXC Morning Show" is a radio magazine show featuring local news, interviews with community leaders and personalities, reports on cultural issues, a rundown of public meetings and local and regional events, with weather updates, and more about and for the community, made mostly through volunteers in the community through WGXC.
