Episode Summary: This discussion on beach cleanup in Bali is an excerpt from a previous episode titled 'Some Good News'.
In this segment, Olabanji, Jenn and Leekei discuss various positive environmental initiatives, highlighting activist Gary Bencheghib and his team of 30 people who have collected and repurposed 227,842 plastic items from mangroves and dumpsites.
The recovered plastics are sorted and repurposed into beauty materials and art.
In addition, they talk about products made from ocean-bound plastic and creative uses of waste, such as making fences from discarded sandals.
The conversation serves as a testament to the potential for repurposing waste and spurs discussion about other sustainable practices, including reducing food waste.
