Zero Waste and the Geography of Garbage with Jen Blecha

Jen Blecha is on the Geography & Environment faculty at San Francisco State University, where she teaches about food sovereignty, sustainable agriculture, environmental justice, and waste reduction. Taking students on field trips to farms, markets, restaurants, landfills, and wastewater treatment plants has made her think a lot about the “urban metabolism” ~ what goes in and what goes out. A lifelong Lutheran, she is currently a member of St Gregory of Nyssa Episcopal Church in San Francisco, where she enjoys roles in the choir, the Vestry, and as a lay deacon. Jen was part of Holden’s Winter Community in 1992-93.To learn more about Holden Village, visit: www.holdenvillage.org or to listen to more audio recordings visit: http://audio.holdenvillage.org
