A new WNWN episode will be released very shortly. In it, you'll hear blurbs of our interview with Irene Hofmeijer. We're happy to present to you an extended interview with Irene (who I call "Green Irene").

Hofmeijer's built a successful NGO fighting plastic pollution in Peru - a place not really famous for environmentalism. She worked briefly in Taiwan with a circular design company, and is now working in the Netherlands helping to fund startups in the circular economy sector.  

I (N8) think this was a pretty cool conversation and one you likely won’t hear anywhere else. 

This is a podcast about how NOT to save the environment. Hosted by Nature N8 (Nate Maynard), an environmental researcher working on energy, ocean, and waste issues.
