Urban Limitrophe

In this episode, I discuss recycling and the importance of creating sustainable energy alternatives with Naomi Fagla Medegan, the founder of Gbobètô. Gbobètô is a non-profit based out of Porto-Novo, Benin that sees waste as a tool for social and sustainable development and through their various recycling programs works to make cities cleaner and communities empowered.

In this episode, you'll learn about:

• how biomass briquettes can be a source of sustainable and affordable energy in areas with poor electricity access
• waste reclaimers and the work they do to keep cities clean
• the trials, tribulations and triumphs of getting recycling infrastructure up and running in a city
• and much more!
