Happy holidays Closers! We’re here with a present that hits everything on your holiday wish list. On this episode, Kevin, Ryan and Becca sit down for an interview with the co-founders of a start-up called ecoSPEARS, who uses sustainable and cost-effective technology to remediate ground contaminants. What the heck are ground contaminants??? And why do they matter to us??? Don’t worry Closers, we didn’t know either, and Sergie Albino and Ian Doromal broke it all down for us. They explain how their innovative technology has the power to make sure we are consuming clean and healthy food and water, minimize the usage of landfills, solve transportation and traffic issues, and even save the polar bears. The COB squad left the interview feeling inspired by ecoSPEARS’ mission, and we bet all you Closers will too.
