91: George van der Schyff - Pristine heart

Lee Rael Season 1 Episode 91

In his latest incarnation, this weeks guest,  George van der Schyff heads up Pristine earth, an NGO based in Cape Town working in the environment and specifically plastics waste and pollution. Their goal is to form collaborations and bring stakeholders together to enhance the best solutions in order to support them to achieve maximum impact.

One of the projects they have involvement with at the moment is brimming the Litterboom concept to Cape Town which provides a simple yet innovative way or retrieving litter from rivers.

Our conversation traversed plastics pollution, our plastics industry, poverty and equality in South Africa, Surviving Covid as a new parent and the effects of having a father who was an Apartheid policeman.

George shares his passion to make change in such an open heart felt way that cant help but rub off and inspire me to do the same. Thank you George.
