Discover Green SA is a podcast based in Cape Town, South Africa that interviews people and small businesses that are taking action in the fight to live sustainably. We discuss current global environmental issues and try to find solutions and ways in which individuals can easily play a role. I'd like to raise awareness on these issues that we all contribute to and are mostly unaware of. I believe together we can make a huge difference in the future of our planet.
In this episode, I chat with Laura founder of 'Second Hand' Facebook group and curator of second-hand markets and thrift fests around Cape Town. We chat about her journey from swapping clothes with friends in school, to running a very successful business allowing anyone the opportunity to become an entrepreneur. We chat about the impact of fast fashion and how thrifting is not only a trend amongst youth but a sustainable lifestyle that is here to stay.

In this episode, I get to know Christie Munro formally known as Minimal Waste Girl. I follow her on Instagram and I’m inspired by her tips on how to minimize waste, her journey with marine education and participation in beach clean-ups. We talk about marine biology and how it impacted her passion for the environment. I find out how she educates those around her about eco-friendly choices and she shares some tips for those starting out. We also chat about her earth-friendly stationery line Minimal Waste SA.

In this episode, I speak with Candice, founder of Waste-ED. We chat about the disconnection we have with our waste and ways in which to minimize it. She shares ways in which she utilizes waste as a resource through composting, eco-bricking and natural building methods. This is a long episode but very informative and so worth the listen.
