"We need to realize this is the only planet that we have"

The NJ PBS digital documentary series “21” examines a simple question: Does where you live in the state affect how you live? The “21” series profiles one person in each of New Jersey’s 21 counties and looks at the social determinants that affect that person’s life. Jay Fischer from Sussex County focuses on the science behind naturally recycling food waste items and diverting them from landfills.
