The Hmm Collective

Join us this week with Ashvni, Paullomi and our guest Sneha, as they talk about sustainability and the various dimensions that come under it, including what we can do in our lives to practice it. There is also construction because construction is cool and sustainability in construction because one should be cool and responsible.
