Episode 13: Used Doesn’t Mean Useless

from Is This Seat Open? Hosted by Los Angeles Times

Pop quiz: what do you do with a pile of discarded seat leather that could stretch 43 acres? Throw it in a landfill? Not if you’re Southwest. In this episode, Laura Nieto, the Director of Community Outreach at Southwest Airlines, tells us how a small idea in 2014 led to a huge repurposing project that crossed an ocean and gave “new life” to people and products.
