LISTEN | The South African app that pays you to recycle
Updated | By JacPod
Imagined Earth is a revolutionary company which has introduced reverse vending machines into South Africa which effectively pay you to recycle! Join Good Things Guy Brent Lindeque as he finds out more in his latest podcast on JacPod.
The world generates at least 3.5 million tons of plastic and other solid waste a day, ten times the amount it did a century ago.
Fortunately, there's a growing number of people and businesses who're starting to support the zero-waste movement, and this App is not only helping South Africa get there, but it’s paying us too.
Good Things Guy Brent Lindeque chats to Imagine Earth's Joshua Nuttall about what they're doing; about 'waste-preneurs' and about how you can get involved.
Listen to the details below.
Meanwhile, in our previous Good Things Guy podcast, Brent Lindeque spoke
with a hero of his, former Public Protector Thuli Madonsela.
They chat
about everything from corruption and social justice to what drives this
Advocate and Professor, and how she spends her precious free time.
