Show Notes

Capi Peck and Norm Berner – both frequent visitors to the podcast – join Rex this week to talk about different ways they are helping to combat Little Rock's worsening and seemingly never-ending trash problem. 

Peck and Berner chat with Rex about aspects of their roles as conservation advocates for the city in regards to litter-related clean-up efforts. Peck, the executive chef and longtime owner of Trio's restaurant as well as a member of the Little Rock Board of Directors, talks with Rex about the connection between fast food and trash, and how non-recyclable materials have greatly contributed to the city’s litter and pollution problems. Peck also stresses the importance of educating younger generations in conservation and environmental awareness. 

Berner, a member of Friends of Fourche Creek and Keep Little Rock Beautiful, is a longtime protector of urban wetlands in Central Arkansas. In this episode, he provides Rex with a brief history of the Keep Arkansas Beautiful campaign and his involvement with the organization. Berner also discusses upcoming events hosted by Friends of Fourche Creek as well as an exciting “special speaker” coming to this year’s Arkansas State Fair, one who Berner believes will continue help tackling the city’s problems with litter and pollution for years to come.
