Show Notes

Remember that box of cookies that you had as a kid that turned out to be filled with household supplies? What about the plastic bag at home that’s filled with a million other plastic bags? Isn’t it crazy how these experiences are so shared among desi-immigrants? And more importantly, isn’t it interesting how both of these examples show how there is a certain level of sustainability built into the first-generation immigrant mentality? In today’s episode, we dig deeper into the realm of sustainability and what it means to be sustainable from the desi-immigrant lens! Throughout the episode, we discuss how we, as desi-americans, can become more sustainable and be more proactive about the forces negatively impacting our planet.
