Genera Energy: Sustainable Products Grown in East Tennessee

Chrissy Keuper

Imagine coming home from your favorite restaurant with the leftovers of a tasty meal. You enjoy your midnight snack and then chuck the carryout container into the compost. WUOT’s Chrissy Keuper reports that container and other products like it will soon be made in East Tennessee by a company called Genera Energy.

Chrissy served as WUOT's News Director and host of monthly public affairs talk show Dialogue from late 2021 to early 2023. Her first job with the station was as weekend student announcer while earning her bachelor's in Anthropology from the University of Tennessee. She had previously been the station's local host for NPR's Morning Edition and All Things Considered news programs; occasionally filled in as host for WUOT's Morning and Afternoon Concerts; and won multiple awards for her interviews, feature stories, and Dialogue.
