This week, we commemorate Global Recycling Day on 18th March. This day was created to help recognise and celebrate the benefits of recycling waste for the environment, businesses, and people. The day was first recognised by the United Nations in 2018 and has since birthed countless initiatives by governments, civil society groups and the private sector that have impacted environmental action and awareness. This year, our next guest has collaborated with the South African Defence Force to take its “green soldiering” to install biogas plants in military bases that will reduce the use of fossil fuels to cook meals for about 220 people a day

Guest: Dr. Karen Surridge – Manager of Renewable Energy at South African National Energy Development Institute
