    Thanks for listening- three years, 40 podcasts- it's our final podcast episode

    Hi listeners and thank you for tuning into the women17 podcast. It’s just me today for my 40th and final podcast episode. I started the podcast in 2020 at the beginning of the pandemic as a way to elevate global women’s voices who are contributing to the sustainable development goals. These amazing women are from all over the world including 17 different nationalities spanning 16 different countries. We have covered topics such as sustainable sanitary pads in India, a sustainable island community in the Philippines, green mobility solutions for rural women in Africa, repurposing discarded fishing nets in Canada, food waste tracking in Norway, welcoming refugees in my hometown, Pittsburgh PA, to recycling bras for underprivileged women. I feel so honored and privileged to have learned from these women. They have inspired me to do better and I hope they have inspired you also! I wish you a happy, safe, and productive day and thank you once again for listening!

    A sustainable approach to diapers- Ayumi Matsuzaka, co-founder of DYCLE - Diaper Cycle

    Let this sink in….a baby needs 4,500 diapers before it learns how to use a toilet. According to DYCLE, an organisation based in Berlin, Germany, it is estimated that ‘disposable diapers are a known environmental hazard comprising up to 10% of household waste. Each child produces around 500kg of diaper waste in their first two and half years of life that translates into around 1400 litres of crude oil used for plastic components’. Have a listen to my conversation with Ayumi Matsuzaka, co-founder of DYCLE, to learn how they have created diaper inserts that  become nutrients for plants creating fertile soil. DYCLE is truly an example of a circular economy.
