Joslyn Faith Keedy is the director and founder of Recycle Lebanon. Her goal is to make a circular system change to recycle our mindsets towards action. She's been organizing other environmental projects that aim to reduce plastic usage and pollution in her country. On this show, we explore and simplify what's happening with energy, the economy, the environment, and our society.
On this episode, Nate is joined by Joslin Faith Kehdy, a changemaker and citizen of Lebanon. Over the last 3 years, Lebanon has had a 50% drop in GDP and 98% devaluation in their currency, massive unemployment, and - among many other things - an ongoing waste crisis. Throughout this, Joslin has been a leader in responding to and coming up with new (and old) ways for living a dignified and simplified life. Joslin is an environmentalist currently living ‘The Great Simplification’ - she offers a valuable perspective on what ‘sustainable’ living really means and insights for what may come to the rest of the world.
