Simple strategy to segregate waste today |The Eco Loop #sustainableliving #wastemanagement

I have friends who tell me they should really start separating their waste, and then don't. For years I thought I just wasn't explaining it well enough. Enas Sobhy Ali has spent 14 years at Tadweer, the waste management company that has diverted over 5.2 million tons from landfill in Dubai. She built their education and CSR programs from the ground up, then trained as a coach with the International Coaching Federation—because she'd realized the thing she believed about people was wrong. In this episode, we get into what actually drives behavior, why contamination is the biggest problem in household recycling, what really happens to your waste after the chute, where the tissue and the coffee cup and the pizza box are supposed to go, how landfill emissions come back to the air you breathe, and the one change she'd have you make in your kitchen this week. She refused to give me a list. She gave me one thing instead. If you have ever stood at a bin genuinely unsure, this one is for you. Watch the full conversation, and tell me in the comments how many bins are in your kitchen right now. #theecoloop #theecosheroespodcast #sustainableliving #wastesegregation #circulareconomy #dubai Sustainable living makes life healthy, wealthy, and happy!
