A fortnight of refuse, or Tess' trash challenge

Marketplace Money's Tess Vigland was in the Twin Cities for the Broadcast Journalists’ event last night. Although I missed the event, I know she spoke about the Consumed series, a collection of on air and online stories as well as activities.

Vigland can speak first hand about the coverage and specifically her trash challenge. She quite literally carried all the trash she generated for two weeks and the results were eye-opening, and reportedly... fragrant.

Despite the daunting image and my description, are you willing to try it? Take the Trash Challenge.
