What do we want to leave our children? Definitely things like good lessons, inspiration, knowledge and maybe something to remember you by. We also want to leave them a world that isn’t overly polluted or full of garbage.

Shane Harker is the go-to guy when it comes to recycling your waste and keeping it out of landfill. It’s a dirty job at times (well most of the time) but he’s about making sure waste goes to the right place and if it can be recycled in some way or another, it does. Too do that, he had to leave his career in the waste and transportation industry in search of better ways to deal with waste.

In this episode, host Greg Martin discusses what Shane had to give up to make the impact he wants and needs in the waste industry and the challenges he faces trying to do things differently.
