Fighting the War on Trash | Roots Down Podcast S2E3

Roots Down A Regenerative A.F Podcast

Welcome to Season 2 Episode 3 of the Podcast!
What happens when we take responsibility for the spaces we live in? In this episode of Roots Down: A Regenerative AF Podcast, host Jamie Rosenthal sits down with Chad, an artist and environmental activist tackling the litter crisis in Georgia and beyond. Chad shares how his grassroots cleanup efforts have removed over 500,000 pounds of trash, the resistance he’s faced from governments and communities, and why he believes public spaces should be treated like our shared living rooms.
They dive into the power of leading by inspiration rather than shame, reframing waste as an opportunity for engagement, and how small acts of care can create a cultural shift toward sustainability. If you're interested in urban regeneration, community-driven change, or just making your city a little cleaner, this episode is for you!
💡 The Roots Down Podcast is all about scaling up urban sustainability with bold ideas, real-world action, and a whole lot of fun.
