Sustainable in the City
"Sustainable in the City" is a podcast co-hosted by Urban Green Lab and the Nashville Department of Waste Services that highlights the small sustainable actions that are making a big impact on Nashville. We chat with everyday Nashvillians like your neighbors, coworkers, and fellow community members. From reducing waste to planting trees, our guests share their stories about the benefits, barriers, and motivators behind everyday choices.
Episodes air on the third Tuesday of each month. Sustainable in the City can be found on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you listen to podcasts. Tune in and be inspired by the power of individual action!
