“At the end of the day, people and the planet are connected,” says Dr. Manasa Mantravadi, “And the lasting impact between the two are not going to be felt by us, but by our children, and our children's children.”  In this episode, Brooking Gatewood sits down with Dr. Mantravadi – pediatrician, mother, advocate, 2022 Reusies® Judge, and founder of the stainless steel container company Ahimsa - who set out to change the systems that expose children to harmful plastic food packaging and pollute the planet.
