#WiseAndShine podcast Project: Podcast Country: Estonia
Project: Volunteer project in Estonia
Countries: Participants from Bulgaria, Estonia, Italy and Spain
Organisation: Wise and Shine (Estonia)
Organisation: Noored Ühiskonna Heaks (Estonia)
Description: This is a seven-episode podcast in which the Wise and Shine team talk to experts in their field about plastic, the pros and cons of using it, and sustainable lifestyles. Podcast topics include “ABC of sustainability” and “The impact of microplastic on our seas”. Wise And Shine was founded by five young women to raise awareness of our daily consumption and green choices by introducing biodegradable glitter and to show how small choices can lead to big changes. In order to achieve this goal, Wise and Shine organises workshops, spreads information on social media, and created the podcast.
Description: The activities covered sustainable fashion, food and mobility. The volunteers cleaned a park, visited a local thrift store and volunteered in a local food bank. Alongside this, they learned about the carbon footprint of fashion and mobility, food waste, and the impact of our diet on the climate.
