HAPPY PLANET

Happy Planet Wednesday !

Before I introduce our guest today I want to thank you for your support over the past year. Because, yes, today’s podcast concludes our first year of programming!

To celebrate we venture into Africa. We will be speaking with Klaartje (Klara) Scarde the Co-Founder of Mwani Zanzibar, a seaweed based cosmetics company based in Zanzibar, Tanzania. I would have loved to do this podcast on site!

Klaartje left her banking job in London to fully embrace the seaweed revolution. Her company seeks to have economic, environmental and social impacts in Zanzibar. Their high end product line is sourced from local seaweed and formulated by Zanzibaris - and it will soon be available online in the US and Europe.

Just a reminder, you can listen to Happy Planet pretty much anywhere you listen to podcasts, or by following one of these links: Apple , Spotify, Google, or our website.

And a note to listeners, we are going to take a couple weeks off to regroup and prepare for Season 2!
