Ever wondered how New York City's recycling efforts compare to other major global hubs? Or why some neighborhoods seem to be recycling superstars while others lag? In the second episode of "Citizen Science: A Symphony of Human Power," we're diving deep into the Big Apple's recycling habits to uncover these very questions and more!
We'll explore the factors influencing NYC's recycling rates and discover just how much untapped potential the city still has to reach its recycling goals. To help us make sense of it all, we're joined by Unnati Akhouri, a PhD candidate at Penn State University and a frequent visitor to NYC.
Unnati has a knack for "playing with data" and using her analytical skills to answer real-world societal questions. Her fascinating insights, born purely out of curiosity and leveraging public data, will shed light on the intricacies of urban recycling.
