SustainaPod

Sustain-a-Pod introduces a new format to spice things up: our very own Roundtable Discussion! This new concept that we are trying will be hosted by our own Sustainapod team. In our roundtable discussions we’ll be talking about issues surrounding sustainability and current news that have been going on recently. We’ll provide our own individual input, with aims to present a wide range of opinions reflective of the voices we hear in society. 1:45 Californian wildfires 11:35 Recap of Plastic Free Seas episode 22: 58 Blackstone's investment in Oatly 31:38 Rise of the Impossible (Meats)

In the last episode of our three-part series with Dana Winograd from Plastic Free Seas, we talk about the regional plastic problem within the lens of the global Sustainable Development Goals. The fight against plastic pollution can often seem overwhelming, but in this episode we discuss some solutions for a better future ahead. Look no further for some realistic and effective strategies for Hong Kong to take action against plastic pollution, and get ready to be inspired.

In this episode with our guest Dana Winograd from plastic free seas, we discuss the implications of the global Covid-19 pandemic on plastic waste in Hong Kong. Tune in to listen to insights about environmental communication, how plastic reduction intersects with policy, and what different stakeholderes can do/continue to do in the continual fight against plastic pollution.

Ever wondered what it takes to run an environmental NGO in Hong Kong? For this very first episode of sustain-a-pod, Dana Winograd from Plastic Free Seas shares what it’s like being the Director of Operations at the Hong Kong-based environmental NGO taking direct action to tackle plastic pollution. If you want to hear about how to create impact within the non-profit sustainability space, the challenges facing it right now, and how we youth can take action, listen to Dana’s story and her valuable words of advice in this episode.

Finally, the announcement we’ve all been waiting for: GIH introduces Sustain-a-pod! Sustain-a-pod is a podcast that delves into various stories of sustainability across different sectors in Asia. Hosted by our students from GIH, our episodes will put youth in direct dialogue with leading sustainability professionals, thinkers, activists and more. We catch you up to date with the latest sustainability news, and help listeners gain more commercial awareness on the diverse components (or should we say ‘pods’!) of sustainability today for young people.
