Impulse Shopping and Excessive Waste - KWCB Podcast Episode 001 - April 2026

"There is no place called 'away.' Away is a physical place somewhere where this stuff goes to rest for the rest of its life." — Steve Cushman We all love the rush of a new purchase, but what happens after the dopamine fades? In this premiere episode, the Keep Wakulla County Beautiful team pulls back the curtain on America’s obsession with "stuff." From the staggering growth of landfills to the hidden environmental cost of your last Amazon delivery, this conversation will change the way you look at your closet, your kitchen, and your credit card statement forever. In this inaugural episode of the Keep Wakulla County Beautiful podcast, host Steve Cushman joins Leslie Cushman and Executive Director Tammie Nason to tackle the crisis of compulsive consumption. The team explores how impulse shopping and the "convenience" of modern delivery services have led to a near doubling of waste production in just the last few years.
