Through conversations with the celebrated academic and author of "Born to Buy", Juliet Schor; astronaut and former Detroit Lion, Leland Melvin; and serial entrepreneur and inventor Daniel Carraway, Downey and Kropa talk about the social forces that created our culture of consumption; ways to rethink our relationship to stuff; and how technology can help reduce the plastic waste that's polluting our oceans and contributing to the greenhouse gas emissions causing global warming.
