Culture of Reviews & Landfill Solar Farm

When you have a bad experience at a restaurant, do you leave a bad review on Yelp? Do you always give 5 stars to your Uber driver? Do you only go to movies above 75% on Rotten Tomatoes? On The Sound of Ideas, we’re going to talk about our relationship with reviews, how we use them to affect our everyday decisions and how businesses are affected by our ratings for better or for worse. Then, a first-in-the-state solar farm will be built on a landfill in Brooklyn. What this could mean for the future of Northeast Ohio's energy production.
