Today’s guest helps us consider: what does it mean to develop a sustainable life?
Tommy Tjiptadjaja is the co-founder and CEO of Greenhope, an organization that reduces waste to circumvent the harm done to the environment and animals. He and his team have developed biodegradable technologies that reduce the lifespan of plastic waste, but he believes even more can be done.
Real sustainability, for him, requires collaboration between people working together for the sake of their communities today and in the future. Solutions won’t come only by making more sustainable decisions. They’ll come when we develop more sustainable lives.
That vision includes creation care, but it also goes beyond it. How can we care for our families, our employees, or our work in sustainable ways? How does God sustain us and our identities in our entrepreneurial journeys?
We tackle all these questions and more today. Follow the show on your favorite podcast app so you never miss an episode.
