On this weeks episode of The VedgeTalk Podcast, we chat with Sea Shepherd environmental activist, Alfonso Gomez.
Alfonso works as a documentary film maker in Mexico City. He applied to be on Sea Shepherd after capturing a subject wearing one of their shirts, and this caught his interest.
After going vegan, this seemed like the perfect next step.
In this conversation we covered:
- Alfonso's childhood in Mexico City.
- Living in New Zealand at the age of 16.
- Struggling with the idea of choosing a career at the end of high school.
- Starting multiple small business ventures as a way of trying new things.
- Filming a documentary in Chihuahua, Mexico in a bid to reconnect with his home country.
- Life on Sea Shepherd. What they do. How they help our oceans. What they eat on board!
- Statistics regarding plastic in our oceans and how that is linked to the fishing industry.
Hope you enjoy the show!
