Ep 6: Imperfect Sustainability

Our guest this episode is Jose Saucedo, director of Doha Environmental Actions Project, also known as DEAP. DEAP is a volunteering organization that has arranged over 185 beach cleanups, with the admirable goal of fighting against plastic pollution and educating Qatar’s citizens on the importance of preserving the environment. Tune in to this episode to learn more about the many initiatives DEAP has undertaken, the impressive milestones they have hit, and how you can help - even if you can’t attend a cleanup!
