MPBN Story on Garbage Study
Maine Public Broadcasting Network radio has a story about a study of Maine’s garbage being done by George Criner, a professor in UMaine’s School of Economics. Criner told MPBN the aim of the study is to document what is in the household waste stream of 17 Maine communities so that municipalities and state policy-makers can make wise decisions. UMaine economics undergraduate Travis Blackmer and Karl Chandler, who are working with Criner, were also interviewed for the story. The Village Soup website ran a UMaine news release about the study.
