💡 Why should you listen to this episode?
Because plastic is everywhere—in our food, our clothes, even the air we breathe. Listen because our celebrations don’t have to cost the planet. And because our choices today will define our future in old age and complete life of our younger ones. What are we trying to leave them with ?
Did you know that an Indian wedding generates up to 900 kg of waste per event? From decorations to food, so much of it just goes straight to the landfill. But what if we could recycle Indian weddings and give waste a second life? Pooja Mathur, the powerhouse behind GreenStraw CafĂ©, has done exactly that—turning her passion for sustainable living into a movement for mindful consumption, eco-conscious lifestyles, and real social change.
From waste management solutions to eco-friendly wedding ideas, she’s proving that small changes can make a big impact. Her journey started as an NGO and evolved into a cafĂ©, where people learn how to live with less waste and more purpose. She’s tackling issues that most people don’t even think about—like menstrual awareness in slums and why our daily habits matter more than we realize.
🎧 Tune in for real talk on community sustainability, waste reduction, and practical sustainable living tips that you can actually use.
