Blake loves trash - studying it, not creating it!  If you didn't grow up in a rural area, you might not realize that not every place has garbage pickup - just like different municipalities have varying options for recycling and composting.  When you’re in charge of disposing of your own trash, you become aware of just how much you make!  From the sustainability of a college campus to what Blake learned while picking up a metric ton of garbage from beaches in Mexico, we talk about creating better spaces for trash, recycling, composting, and what we can do to further reduce wasteful habits and reduce our trash output!

After a health scare, it was more important than ever to Emily Hanna to make sure she and her family were eating well.  Emily was in search of a pure, clean, plant based protein and just wasn’t finding what she wanted.  Some had fillers, some had artificial ingredients, and some contained allergens that would affect her and her family.  With just 5 simple ingredients and a lot of behind the scenes formulation and experimentation, Hanna Valley Protein was born.  Hanna Valley Protein is organic, non - GMO, vegan, and free from fillers, natural and artificial flavors, and common allergens.  Listen to hear about Emily’s formulation process, why it’s so important to use clean, whole food ingredients, and her own inspiring health journey!
