Limelight Highlight

On this episode of the podcast we discuss news all about the environment since that was the outcome of the last poll we had. You all participated in the poll and for that I thank you. We touch on the benefits that wild wolves have on the environment and how 20 new wolf pups are being cross-fostered into wild wolf packs to diversify the gene pool. We discuss how innovative the UK has become with all of their efforts to provide clean energy to their country and help out the environment. Our last story touches on the Great Pacific Garbage patch and how an organization has been setting records by continuing to collect all of the toxic plastics that have accumulated in the area, as well as their plans to continue to work on cleaning the ocean and making sure that the plastic they collect does not end up in landfills which is very important. Our Limelight PPDPT goes to Campaign Zero. For their work in enacting laws and trying to minimize police brutality and violence.

With all that has been going on in today's society I felt that we needed to discuss some issues that have been constant and maybe give a perspective that many may not have. On this episode of the podcast we are joined by our good friend Zeek to discuss all that is goin on and how he feels about the situation. We touch a bunch of different topics and I hope you enjoy and gain some useful knowledge, even if it is just an understanding of what is going on right now. Thank you for listening.

On this episode of the podcast we focus on recycling and the innovative ideas coming from multiple sources on how to recycle materials to help with building, school supplies and much more. A company called "Phoenix Commotion" building homes for low-income families and providing all those involved with much needed experience as well as empowering the homeowner with skills they can use in the competitive market of construction. Another topic covered is about a British artist who designed and created his own island with the base being made entirely of recycled plastic bottles, showing us that there is plenty of material out there and all you need is a drive and some ingenuity.
